A real showstopper, Heuchera ‘Midnight Ruffles’ (Coral Bells) is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial sporting large, heavily ruffled, shiny red-brown to almost black leaves with purple undersides. In late spring to early summer, masses of small, bell-shaped, red flowers bloom on slender stems rising up to 22 in. (55 cm) above the foliage. Midnight Ruffles 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.
