Product Description

Heuchera ‘Silver Scrolls’ PP12066 Common Name: Coral Bells Zone 3 to 8, Evergreen (in some or all zones) Full sun to full shade. Plants reach 11 inches tall and 14 inches wide, clump-forming perennial.

This enchanting Heuchera displays leaves with such crisp color patterning that they resemble little stained glass windows. They range in color from season to season in response to changing light levels. In spring, they are deep grape purple with a heavy steel-grey overlay and crisp veination. Their undersides are royal purple, revealed by the curling of the leaves. During the winter, the foliage turns to a rich violet hue. Though the extraordinary foliage is reason enough to grow this plant, it has the added bonus of producing rose-pink buds which open to greenish-cream flowers on 24 inch scapes in late spring.

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.
