Caramel Heuchera

Caramel Coral Bells is the topping on your garden sundae. Grow this striking plant as a border edging and love how the leaves are orange in spring, turning caramel-apricot for summer, and staying like that for the rest of the year. Bouquets of tiny, creamy-white flowers brighten the summer months. Evergreen, with ground-hugging stems, it is perfect for low edging, planting on slopes and in a rock garden, growing beneath trees and along a pathway. You will love this low-maintenance solution to those awkward shady spots, and how versatile this great plant is.

• Orange spring leaves turn caramel-apricot for the rest of the year
• Attractive clusters of creamy-white flowers in late summer
• Wonderful edging plant, and great in a rock garden
• Wide and low but never invasive
• Grows across a huge range of light conditions

Full sun suits the Caramel Coral Bells in cooler zones; partial shade everywhere; and light full shade in warmer zones is great. Grow it in any well-drained soil, and you will be amazed to see its drought resistance once it is established. The parentage of this variety means it is well-adapted to heat and humidity too, so it can be grown just about anywhere. Deer usually ignore it, and so do potential pests or diseases.
