Product Description

Heuchera ‘Tara’ PPAF Common Name: Coral Bells Zone 4 to 9, Evergreen (in some or all zones) Full sun to full shade. Plants reach 8 inches tall and 10 inches wide, clump-forming perennial.

This 2008 introduction is a new golden yellow variety. In spring, the new leaves emerge golden yellow with a bright red center and veining. As they mature, the leaves turn pure golden yellow. Tiny, white, bell-shaped flowers appear in midsummer on slender, wiry 14 inch stems rising above the foliage mound may attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

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 .
