Coral Bells 'Cajun Fire', Alum Root 'Cajun Fire', Coral Flower 'Cajun Fire'
Changing colors with the seasons, Heuchera ‘Cajun Fire’ (Coral Bells) is a compact evergreen perennial forming a dense, rounded mound of lobed leaves that emerge red in spring, turn deep purple-black in summer before changing to maroon in the fall. Blooming from late spring to fall, masses of small, bell-shaped, white flowers appear on slender stems rising up to 18 in. (45 cm) above the foliage. Fast-growing, this dazzling 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 the landscape.
