Description

'Flores Sea' Coral Bells creates a vivid surprise with eye-catching foliage to contrast the surrounding greens in a garden. Or, plant it in a container where it can steal the show all on its own. Silvery dark veined leaves with purple on the reverse give this plant a base from which its pink flowers arise in late spring. Great as a groundcover, it will spread over time to create a mass of year-round foliage. Suited to sun, dappled shade, or even shady spots, Coral Bells likes compost-enriched, well-drained soil with moderate moisture. They are low-maintenance plants that will attract hummingbirds and butterflies as they bloom. The flowers make nice additions to a flower vase too. To encourage foliage growth, cut back flower stalks after blooming. Apply a light layer of compost in the spring, and if the foliage gets a bit tattered, trim the leaves back to encourage new growth.

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.
