Looking for an orange foliage plant for your shade garden? You found it! Large 4½-5", apricot orange leaves have a silver overlay. Its beautifully pronounced ruffling reveals bright pink undersides of the leaves. The bright orange color is most pronounced in the spring with newly emerging foliage; over the warmer months the color mellows. Burgundy stems hold airy, cream flowers. The mound of foliage grows 8-10" tall with a spread of 30-34". The flowers are held on scapes 24-30" tall. Heuchera can grow anywhere from sun to shade, but seem to do best with some afternoon shade or filtered sun. Hardy to Zone 4.
Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers. Try cutting a few of the tall flower scapes for fresh bouquets.
