Northern Exposureâ„¢ 'Lime' Coral Bells is a showstopper, and the dazzle is only beginning with its citrus-hued foliage. Lemon-lime leaves light up shade and sunny gardens alike, forming low-growing mounds that complement neighboring plants. In late spring and early summer, spires of rust-red bell-shaped blooms add to the show, floating on wiry stems to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This knockout perennial is exceptionally cold hardy, too. (Heuchera)

Description

Northern Exposureâ„¢ 'Lime' Coral Bells (PP#029162) features lime green scalloped leaves forming tidy mounds, complemented by spires of tiny, rust-red flowers in late spring. The Northern Exposureâ„¢ series of Coral Bells (Heuchera) was bred and named for exceptional cold hardiness and a terrific resistance to rust.

Preferring part shade to full shade, Coral Bells are ideal for adding color to shady borders and woodland gardens. These compact plants are ideal along walkways, as groundcover in the front of a garden border, and they thrive as filler plants in containers where you can enjoy their beauty up close. They can tolerate sunny spots, but in areas with very hot summers, they will need protection from afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves; they perform best in a site with morning sun and well-drained soil that never gets boggy. Coral Bells are also well-suited to containers, where the mounding foliage and flower spikes add filler and a bit of thrill. Heucheras are native to the eastern half of the U.S., and this beauty is one of the many cultivars created from the native species.

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.
