Heuchera sanguinea 'Coral Forest'

Common name: Coral Bells 'Coral Forest'

Description: This charming cultivar of the native North American Heuchera produces a particularly prolific display of delicate coral-red flowers that dance above the foliage on wiry stems throughout late spring and early summer. The dainty bell-shaped blooms are held in airy sprays, creating a cloud-like effect that brings movement and grace to the border. The rounded, semi-evergreen foliage forms a neat mound of green leaves with subtle marbling that provides attractive ground-level interest throughout the year. The flowering performance is outstanding, often producing multiple flushes if deadheaded regularly. This is an excellent choice for the front of borders, cottage gardens, or woodland edges where the delicate flowers can be appreciated up close.
