Caramel Coral Bells, Alum Root

Caramel Coral Bells, Alum Root

Heuchera villosa 'Caramel'

This foliage perennial is prized for its orange mounded leaves: a versatile, low-maintenance perennial suited to borders, containers, and partly shaded beds.

  • Orange foliage provides striking, season-long colour from spring through autumn frost.
  • Airy stalks of small pink flowers rise above the foliage in summer fall, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.
  • Evergreen to semi-evergreen in mild winters; divide every three to four years to renew vigour.
  • Best in full sun to partial shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Grows best in an average to moist well-drained soil in partial sun. Newer cultivars are bred to tolerate more extreme growing conditions such as drought, heat, humidity, and exposure levels. Heuchera are very versatile and create an excellent colour contrast option in mass or as an individual accent perennial. Remove spent flowers from taller cultivars to keep a uniform appearance. When planting, it is important to note that the crown should remain slightly above the soil level to prevent stem rot. Root weevils are a common problem for coral bells.
