Coral bells, or heucheras, are fantastic foliage plants, offering a spectrum of shades from lime to burnt orange to deep purple, depending on variety. As evergreens (or semi-evergreens), this riot of color is long-lasting, and because they're perennials, they will continue to perform year after year. They also have tall and delicate flower spikes throughout the warmer months, which happen to be great for pollinators.
Due to their neat and attractive growth habit, many gardeners choose to grow coral bells as edging plants or ground cover toward the front of borders. As they do well in dappled shade, they can also thrive in woodland schemes. However, coral bells also make excellent container plants – particularly in smaller, urban plots where sunlight is often limited.
