Midnight Rose Coral Bells

Heuchera x 'Midnight Rose'

Midnight Rose Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The round lobed leaves are purple-black with contrasting hot pink splotches in spring that lighten to cream and pink spots in summer.  Airy clusters of tiny creamy white bell-like flowers bloom on purple spires in late spring to summer attracting butterflies.  Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:    Lenten Rose,  Hosta,  Painted Fern
