Coral Bells 'Melting Fire', Alum Root 'Melting Fire'
Heuchera ‘Melting Fire’ features nicely lobed and heavily ruffled leaves which emerge bright red, and turn deep maroon as they age. In late spring to early summer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, creamy-white flowers bloom on dark red stems rising up to 18 in. (45 cm), above the semi-evergreen foliage. A terrific choice for adding a touch of color in the rock garden, perennial border, along paths or in containers.
