Heuchera ‘Berry Timeless’ (Coral Bells)

Incredibly floriferous, Heuchera ‘Berry Timeless’ (Coral Bells) is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial sporting silvery leaves highlighted with dark green veins. Blooming continuously from early summer to mid-fall, a profusion of small, pale pink flowers which age to a deeper rose-red are produced in tight wands rising up to 18-20 in. (45-50 cm) above the foliage. The blossoms are excellent in fresh bouquets or dried arrangements. Berry Timeless is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. Native to the southeastern United States, Heuchera villosa is noted for its tolerance to high heat and humidity over the other species. This showy heuchera combines extremely well with a wide range of colors and helps create wonderful plant combinations in gardens or pots. A sturdy performer that is not only easy to grow, but also requires little maintenance. Wonderful as an accent, in containers or in mixed borders.

• Forms a basal mound up to 8-10 in. tall (20-25 cm) and 20 in. wide (50 cm).
• Performs best in full sun, part shade, or full shade in rich, humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soils. If grown in full sun, make sure the soil remains consistently moist or the foliage might decline. Thrives in dry shade, once established. Salt tolerant.
• It is attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and is often ignored by deer.
• A spectacular addition to beds and borders, city gardens, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, and woodland gardens and is ideal as a groundcover, edger along paths, or in containers. Fabulous when planted in groups!
• No serious pest or disease issues. Keep an eye out for vine weevil and heuchera rust.
• Propagate by division in autumn. Divide clumps in spring every 3-4 years.
• Remove stems of faded flowers to promote additional bloom. Apply winter mulch after the ground freezes to help prevent root heaving.
