Coral Bells 'Fire Chief', Alum Root 'Fire Chief', Coral Flower 'Fire Chief'
Bred for heat and humidity tolerance, Heuchera ‘Fire Chief’ is a particularly interesting variety of reblooming Coral Bells for 2 reasons: its amazing scarlet foliage which generally holds its color over the seasons and its continuous blooms, both features providing an incredibly long season of interest. Creating gorgeous, colorful mounds, the lobed, rounded, mid-sized leaves emerge glowing wine red in spring, then mature to deeper crimson shades in summer and fall before slightly browning out in winter.
