Heuchera ‘Midnight Bayou’
Fancy-leaf Coral Bells |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.266.510
As a group, the Hybrid Coral Bells offer the gardener a tremendous new range of foliage colours, especially for shady areas. This fast-growing selection forms a sturdy mound of maple-like leaves in purple with black veining. Leaf colour changes with the season from red-purple to silvered-purple. Sprays of white bell flowers appear in June but can be removed if desired. Any silver-leaved or pink flowering plants make great companions. Reported to withstand the heat and humidity of the south. Excellent in the border, for edging, or in tubs and mixed containers. Foliage may be tidied up in spring by removing any withered or tired-looking leaves. Evergreen. USPP#21858: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
