Coral Bells 'Red Lightning', Alum Root 'Red Lightning'
Adding drama to the landscape, Heuchera ‘Red Lightning’ features huge, golden chartreuse leaves adorned with striking dark red veins. The wonderful foliage retains its showy color throughout the growing season. In summer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, creamy-white flowers bloom on slender stems rising up to 18 in. (45 cm), well 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. Excellent heat and humidity tolerance
