Positive Sneirish On Aug 8, 2008, Sneirish from Swansea, MA (Zone 6b) wrote:

I love the foliage of this Coral Bells - the leaves are a beautiful combination of green, silver and purple. In their second year in my garden they grew to a nice-sized mound about two feet wide. They pretty much kept the color without fading. However, I wasn't at all impressed with the flowers. They were supposed to be red. They may have been, but they were so small, they were barely visible! Good thing the leaves are so pretty.

Burgundy foliage (more purplish in part-shade) with a pewter-metallic sheen on top. Flowers tend to bloom longer than many other Heuchera. Can reach a height of 12".
