Midnight Rose' Coral Bells is characterized by its contrast, color and vigor. The rich, plum-black foliage of this lovely Heuchera is spotted with deep pink tones that fade to ivory cream as the season progresses. Tiny salmon-colored flowers are held above the foliage in late spring. Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' is a terrific choice for part-shade gardens, but it also does well in sunny positions. Plant in rich, well-drained soil in part shade to sun. Great for containers. (Heuchera)

Description

(12-24" tall x 8-12" wide) The beautiful mounding foliage of award-winning 'Midnight Rose' Coral Bells not only stands up to heat and humidity, it also adds terrific contrast to your planting schemes. The dark, nearly black, lobed leaves are dappled with hot pink which gradually fades into cream as the season wears on. Flowers are tiny, salmon-colored and held above the foliage by wire-like stems. Heuchera are excellent container plants, and their relative hardiness means that many gardeners can leave them in those containers all year long, changing out annual companions for variety and adding new compost as a top dressing. Use them to accentuate the edges of shadier garden beds with favorites like Hosta and Carex. 'Midnight Rose' Coral Bells can tolerate sunny spots, but in hot summer areas prefers protection from afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves. Aim for a site with plenty of morning sun and a well-drained soil which never gets boggy. Heuchera is seldom damaged by deer.

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.
