Coral Bells ~ Day 230

Sharing part of my garden with you again. The leaf of the coral bells are so pretty with the purple-burgundy color in the sunlight. Most coral bells (Heuchera) tiny, bell-shaped pink, coral, red, or white flowers in late spring or early summer. Foliage colors include red, purple, silver, as well as green, and some varieties sport marbled or patterned leaves. Mine are the purple variety. Foliage height ranges from 6 to 18 inches and flower spikes can reach 24 inches tall. Hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers. What I love about these the most are they are perennial. Like I always say, cut them back at the end of the season and they will return the next. Plant them in partial shade and they will thrive. Have a great day everyone!

  1. Very cool shot. These are such neat plants, well worth growing just for their foliage. I am waiting to see what color the flowers in mine will be. I would love to have every color but must just maintain what I have for now.

  2. I think Alibb is onto something here. You should change the name of yours to Carol Bells. I had to vote no on the poll. I am not familiar with this lovely. Geeze, you don’t even need blooms with that plant.

    • I think that is a great idea. The foliage is so pretty it has different shades of purple and burgundy. The blooms are the same color on long spikes. Very cool.

  3. Haha, my eyes played trick on me, I thought I saw “carol Bells”
    and thought is it name after you?

    Lol, it’s an interesting plant… never seen it before…
