Heuchera ‘Red Lightning’ — Coral Bells

Description

Heuchera ‘Red Lightning’ brings bright color to shady beds. Its gold leaves have bold red veins. The neat clump stays useful from spring into fall.

Bright Foliage for Shade

Give this coral bells part shade in warm areas. Morning sun is fine. Protect the leaves from strong afternoon sun. For another bold shade plant, pair it with Heucherella ‘Alabama Sunrise’.

Simple Care

Use loose soil that drains well. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Water when the top starts to dry. A light layer of mulch can help hold moisture.

Use it in borders, woodland beds, or pots. Its red veins also work well near the warm foliage of Heuchera ‘Delta Dawn’. For a stronger red accent, add Heuchera ‘Fire Alarm’.

Seasonal Care

Remove old leaves in spring. Trim spent flower stems as needed. Keep the crown near soil level. Divide an older clump if it gets crowded.
