Heuchera (Coral Bells) at Digging Dog
Including Heuchera varieties Raspberry Regal, Santa Ana Cardinal, Apple Blossom, and Blackout
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 foliage, burnished with a gemlike luster, is this Heuchera's stylish signature. Celebrating more vigor and more black than those of its dark rival, Heuchera 'Obsidian'. Elegant lobed leaves fashion a compact mound, which offsets urn-shaped creamy white flowers. 'Blackout' is a mysterious midnight-hued springboard for golden grasses, yellow-leafed perennials, Japanese Painted ferns and silvery Pulmonarias. (pp#25,280)
Blooms May–June. Size: 16" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera ‘Blackout’ (P-1636) Each $8.00

Overtop a trim mound of polished leaves, tall spires flaunt exceptional dusty pink flowers that easily meld with other perennials—a plus for this choice long-lived cultivar and for the garden designer. Surround ‘Weston Pink’ with diverse colors: lavender and blue Geraniums, yellow Kniphofias and Achilleas. Plant a large swath for visual impact and for arrangements as well.
Blooms April–July. Size: 18" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera x brizoides ‘Weston Pink’ (P-0091) Each $7.00

A highly welcome, more compact cultivar, ‘Coral Bouquet’ bears bright coral-colored blossoms several times bigger than most Heucheras. Mounding, mottled green foliage serves as an attractive, low growing foil for the springtime profusion of showy flower clusters.
Blooms April–June. Size: 20" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Heuchera ‘Coral Bouquet’ (P-0539) Each $7.00

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) Each $7.00

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) SOLD OUT!

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.
Blooms April – July. Size: 2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 8. Heuchera ‘Santa Ana Cardinal’ (P-1702) SOLD OUT!
