Heuchera 'Marmalade' PP15945 COPF (20)ct Flat
Common Name: Coral Bells
Zone 4 to 9, Evergreen (in some or all zones)
Full sun to part shade.
Plants reach 10 inches tall and 8 to 12 inches wide,
clump-forming perennial.
This plant is stunning with rich, shiny, undulating maple-shaped leaves ranging in color from umber to deep sienna with hot pink undersides. Tiny, red-brown flowers appear on 16 inch scapes from late spring to early summer on slender stems. The rich, shiny, undulating leaves are of heavy substance, helping them to stand up to inclement weather. Reported to take full sun in the South, but do not let it dry out. Best foliage color might be achieved with morning sun and afternoon (partial) shade.
Cross between AMBER WAVES (seed parent) and HUNTSMAN (pollen parent).
Easy to grow average soil; Heucheras will perform best in organically rich, humus, medium wet, well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Performs well in full sun in the north, but prefers some afternoon shade in the south. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is particularly important. They grow most vigorously and have the strongest colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.
Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers. Remove stems of faded flowers to encourage additional bloom. Foliage is essentially evergreen in warm winter climates, but the amount of retained foliage color in cold winter climates depends upon the temperatures. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. Clumps may be divided in the spring every 3 to 4 years .
