Crimson Curls Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Crimson Curls'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: Clump-forming perennial with burgundy to dark-purple, semi-evergreen leaves with reddish undersides and curled edges. Small white flowers grow on airy stalks throughout the summer. Removing spent flowers will promote a second bloom later in the season. Needs moderate amounts of water and fertile soils.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
Special Considerations: Heucheras may respond better to having the dead foliage pulled out rather than cut back.
