Glossy, Ruffled Foliage
Waxy deep-black, scalloped foliage appears as though a glossy finish was recently applied. Incredibly dense, the ruffles twist to reveal rosy-purple undersides. A summer rain heightens its beauty as beaded raindrops glisten like diamonds against the dark foliage. A Proven Winner® Perennial of the Year. Primo! Heuchera Black Pearl is a villosa hybrid. Villosa species exhibit an increased tolerance to high heat and humidity over other Heuchera species. Airy white flower sprays are held on pink stems and cradled with pink calyxes. Coral Bells are easy to grow, often used as edgers and flower scapes are perfect accents for fresh bouquets.

Heuchera General Information

Heuchera make excellent border plants with their nearly evergreen foliage in neat clumps. Dainty flowers are held aloft on airy stems May through July. These versatile perennials can be used in a shady courtyard pot or as a groundcover under deciduous trees. Prefers average to moist soil conditions. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Heuchera Plant Care

Benefits from deadheading. Watch for frost heaving - mulch can help. In cold climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. 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.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
