Heuchera 'Berry Smoothie' Coral Bells, 1 Quart Pot Live Plant

Brilliant raspberry-toned metallic foliage darkens to purple pink in summer. A refreshing see-through edger, the airy tall sprays of white bells allow a view of the plants behind. Impressive heat and humidity tolerance.

An award winner, Heuchera Berry Smoothie was a visitor favorite in the 3-year trials at the Mt. Cuba Center Botanical Garden. 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.

Benefits from deadheading. 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. This plant comes in a gallon sized pot.
