Heucheras are one of the most essential plants for providing contrast in the garden, especially the purple or speckled varieties. Contrast is an essential element in creating depth, interest, and direction for the visitors eye. This darker Heuchera gives a nice color contrast against the bright greens of the grass and perennials. It also provides size, shape, and textural differences as well. They even come with their own color contrast; you can see the shades of burgundy on the back side of the leaf is much darker compared to the tops of the leaves.
Heucheras are more commonly known as Coral Bells. They come in a wide variety of foliage colors. Heucheras are best used in mass plantings for front borders. This patch started out as three 4" plants about three years ago. They are in bloom now and will remain in bloom for a couple months. Though they like sun, they are happy growers in shady, well-drained gardens as well.
