Description

Citronelle is another new beauty. Its large leaves vary in color depending on how much sun they receive. In shade, they're a stunning chartreuse, which really lights up darker areas of the garden. And in sun, they're bright yellow, creating great color wherever they're planted. The flower spikes decorate themselves with jewel-like cream-colored blooms in late spring and early summer.

Planting & Care

A whole new group for your garden. Coral Bells, or the Heuchera are a group of small perennials commonly found as native plants in North American woodlands, and they've been ignored until recently. During the 1990s, some enterprising US nurserymen realized the Coral Bells were diamonds in the rough, and went to work. Their efforts have created a mini-sensation in the world of perennials, as more and more gardeners discover these great plants.

Some of the natives are alpines from the Rockies, others are dwellers in lowland southeastern forests. But all have several wonderful things in common. They have beautiful foliage, with large leaves in several colors that remind many of grape leaves, and the foliage lasts through the winter. With hybridization, some of the foliage colors have become truly spectacular, with rich shades and fascinating bi-colors.

Now there are new Heuchera hybrids almost every year, and the group gains popularity all the time. They take full sun or partial shade. And while most of these are grown for their handsome foliage, many also have lovely flowers, some spectacular. Best of all, the plants bloom for weeks and weeks. The flowers rise from a clump of leaves on elegant, thin stems which are lined with the small bell-like blooms.

Great plants eye catching foliage

"Plants arrived very healthy & ready to be planted. I placed them in a new flower bed & they steal the show! I love coral bells & have many of the hybrids. My big plus is that the squirrels leave them alone! Great little plant with stunning colored leaves."

— Karen (5/5)
