Heuchera
Coral Bells
Maple-like leaves form a dense evergreen base for long slender stems lined with small, urn shaped flowers, ranging in color from white to pink to chartreuse. Heucheras are extremely durable, despite their delicate, even dainty appearance. Long-lived and occasionally drought tolerant, they are appropriate to virtually any garden situation.
Smooth ultra dark leaves achieve a gemlike luster while shrouding an elegant compact mound. The deep black foliage of this brisk growing perennial makes a stunning contrast to its creamy white flowers.
Size: 16" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera ‘Blackout’ (P-1636)

Like shiny slabs of jet black obsidian, smooth ultra-dark leaves achieve a gemlike lustre while shrouding an elegant compact mound. dapper foliage, touted as the blackest of all—rounded, lobed and long petioled—holds its seductive ebony and midnight maroon coloring through full sun and hot, humid weather. Heightened by tall, supple red-tinted stems with small creamy flowers, reliable ‘Obsidian’ becomes a deep mysterious springboard, accentuating gilt bladed grasses or golden perennials, the silvery fronds of japanese painted ferns and spotted Pulmonarias. (pp#14836).
Blooms June–July. Size: 2' high x 16" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera ‘Obsidian’ (P-1455)

Victor Reiter selected this robust Heuchera maxima descendant for its resilient nature, its tall, strong-stemmed posies and handsome large leafage. Two ft. high red-tinted stalks elevate hundreds of smoky rose-colored blossoms above compact, green rounded foliage. Flourishing in dry shade with little water, ‘Old La Rochette’s good-sized mounding clump and pretty floral urns are most impressive in a drift under Ribes or alongside Festuca amethystina ‘Superba’.
Blooms April – July. Size: 2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 8. AVAILABLE SPRING 2012 Heuchera ‘Old La Rochette’ (P-1454)

Excellent for cutting, these tightly clustered, deep rosy pink flowers open from dark, raspberry-red buds held on strong, upright stems that rise 2-½ ft. above the leafy mound of basal foliage. The robust leaves are deep green and sometimes subtly mottled with silver. To ensure cool, moist soil and ample
sun, we plant this Heuchera on the edge of our woodland border and back it with Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘alba’.
Blooms June–August. Size: 3' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera pulchella ‘Raspberry Regal’ (P-0389)

Lush verdant foliage offers a dramatic counterpoint to this Heuchera’s uniquely bicolored flower, which is snowy white with a pink-blushed lip. Elevated on 8 to 12 in. tall stems, the blossoms look especially cheerful next to blue blooming Nepetas.
Blooms April–June. Size: 18" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera sanguinea ‘Apple Blossom’ (P-0299)

A superb evergreen cross between Heuchera maxima and Heuchera sanguinea, this vigorous dazzler was introduced in 1958 by the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden. Scalloped bright green leaves describe a dense lustrous base, showcasing the generous offering of vivid rosy red bells on 2 ft. tall flowering spires.
Tantalizing to hummingbirds and other plant enthusiasts, long blooming ‘Santa Ana Cardinal’ relishes cool sunny spots or bright shady ones with average to minimal summer waterings once mature. Zone 7/8.

Coveted by garden designers and hummingbirds alike, low maintenance ‘Wendy’ is a John Dourley Heuchera maxima and Heuchera sanguinea cross from the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden and is considered one of their loveliest native hybrids. Clustered chubby urns in light peach-pink shades make a graceful, yet profuse showing on tall slim stems. Favoring dry conditions with dap-pled shade once established, this big-leafed evergreen Heuchera produces compact soft green clumps, well-suited for mass plantings under native oaks inland or for sunny niches amid Nepetas and Achilleas near the coast.
