Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ — Red Coral Bells

Description

Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’ is a bold coral bells with vivid red leaves. Its warm color adds life to shaded beds and pots.

Bright Red Foliage

Fire Alarm forms a low, neat mound. Its leaves can shift from bright red to deeper red as the season moves on. For a gold and red mix, try Heuchera ‘Delta Dawn’.

Light and Soil

Grow it in part shade or bright shade. Morning sun is fine in many gardens. Give it moist soil that drains well. Keep the crown near the soil line and out of wet mulch.

For a cooler leaf color, pair it with Heuchera ‘Forever Purple’. It also looks good near the gold-green leaves of Heucherella ‘Alabama Sunrise’.

Simple Care

Water well after planting. Water again when the soil starts to dry. Remove old leaves when needed. Cut off spent flower stems to keep the plant neat. A small amount of compost in spring can support new growth.

Where to Plant It

Use Fire Alarm near the front of a shade bed, along a path, or in a mixed pot. Its red leaves give steady color even when flowers are scarce.
