Coral Bells, Northern Exposure™ Purple Heuchera

Northern Exposure Purple Heuchera is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The round-lobed leaves are a rich purple with dark veins and can earn a silvery overlay.  Airy clusters of tiny shell pink bell-like flowers bloom on dark spires in summer attracting butterflies.  Blooms best in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  The Northern Exposure series has improved cold tolerance and is rust resistant.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:   Lenten Rose, Hosta, Painted Fern
