Coral Bells
Heucheras (Coral Bells) have become the new Hosta for the home garden. These plants date back to 1738. Since that time Heucheras have come a long way. They’re easy to grow in different soil conditions. Most coral bells grow in shade and full sun and vary from 1’ to 2’ ˝” tall. The wide variety of foliage has made this plant and easy sell at garden centers. Its flowers bloom in June, and may be white, pink, salmon, coral, or red.
These semi-evergreen plants are great for edgings, foundations, borders, beds, group plantings, ground cover and planter boxes. Coral Bells don’t get cut back like Hostas in the winter. The roots are very shallow and should be mulched during the winter if cold and dry weather is predicted. The only draw back to this popular plant is that, like the Hosta, the leaves will scorch in extreme heat with full sun if not watered frequently.
