Gotham Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Gotham'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: This perennial forms clumps of lobed, semi-evergreen leaves. The dark purple foliage contrasts with small cream-yellow flowers that bloom in late-spring to early-summer on tall, airy stems. It prefers organic soils with moderate amounts of moisture. Too much drought and heat can cause the foliage to decline through the summer.

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.
