Electric Plum Heuchera

The Electric Plum Coral Bells is a new variety of foliage plant, with the most dynamic and striking foliage of any plant. New spring growth is almost black, and then turns bright purple-pink for the rest of the year. This evergreen plant has ground-hugging stems covered in foliage rising about 8 inches above the ground, forming a broad mat that is perfect for edging beds and lining paths. Plant it also in rocky areas and on slopes or terracing. 18-inch flower stems carry small fuchsia-pink blossoms for two months through the summer

• Bold purple-blue leaves in spring
• Leaves are bright purple-pink the rest of the year
• Two months of fuchsia-pink flowers in summer
• Broad, low mound of foliage for edging
• Tolerant of all light levels

The Electric Plum Coral Bells will grow in full sun, partial shade and in full shade too – it’s incredibly adaptable. It grows easily in any well-drained soil, and tolerates dryness once well-established. It takes the heat and humidity of the southeast well, and thrives almost everywhere will virtually no attention. Pests and diseases aren’t usually problems, and deer seem to mostly leave it alone.
