What are Heuchera Plants?
Native to woodlands in North America, Heuchera produce colourful foliage in shades of vivid purples, ravishing reds and deep greens. They're perfect for all gardens as they prefer shady spots, ideal for people that might not receive a lot of sunlight throughout the day.
Also known as Coral Bells, Heuchera are great for planting anywhere in the garden, especially when used as ground cover in borders or for jazzing up a container. As long as you keep them in moist soil that's well-drained, your Heuchera varieties will thrive throughout the summer.
