Description
Heuchera 'Berry Timeless' PP26357
Common Name: Coral Bells
A myriad of light pink flowers which age to a deeper rose red are produced in tight wands on 18-20” scapes.
What is so remarkable is what happens when the flowers are spent—they dry in place on the stems similar to what Statice does instead of falling off and leaving bare stems, thus the reference to the everlasting flowers in its name. You’ll get a two toned look of light and dark pink flowers on the same plant for a strong show of color. Even better, this plant blooms and reblooms continuously, not in waves, from early summer to frost!
You’ll have loads of flowers to enjoy all summer if you're a gardener. Cut flower producers should also take note of this new everlasting heavy bloomer.
Breeders have come a long way with creating Heucheras with fantastic flowers, but this one also has very attractive, lightly silvered, mint green foliage that forms a compact, dense clump. The flowers stand in perfect proportion and contrast to the foliage.
This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a robust, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most villosas produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States.
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. Try cutting a few of the tall flower scapes for fresh bouquets.
