A native species of Coral Bells that is both vigorous and colorful. Spring foliage emerges in tones of purple, summer brings green leaves with prominent red/purple veining and a silvery blush. Flower stems are held tighter to the foliage than other species, reaching just 8 inches above the leaves in tones of creamy white. Blooms a bit earlier than other Heucheras. Perfect for edging in sun or shade.

General Information:
Heucheras make excellent border plants with their nearly evergreen foliage in neat clumps. Dainty flowers are held aloft on airy stems in May through July. Can be used in a shady courtyard pot or as a ground cover under deciduous trees. Avoid dry soil with full sun, good cut flower, evergreen, good groundcover.
Plant Care:
Benefits from deadheading. Watch for frost heaving - mulch can help. It keeps the mature crown in contact with the soil and keeps the soil moist in the summer as well. Must have good drainage over the winter, though, so don't over-do the overwintering mulching. Shear off any damaged leaves in early spring to make room for new foliage. Can be divided every 3 years in spring.
