Heuchera ‘Southern Comfort’ — Peach Coral Bells

Description

Heuchera ‘Southern Comfort’ is a hardy shade plant with large peach, amber, and copper leaves. The color shifts as the season changes, so the plant stays useful long after its small flowers fade.

Use it in beds, borders, or pots where you want warm leaf color. It pairs well with other coral bells such as Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach’, the bold red leaves of Heuchera ‘Forever Red’, or the soft texture of Silver Lace Fern.

How to Grow Southern Comfort

• Light: Part shade is best. Morning sun is fine.
• Soil: Use rich, well-drained soil.
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, but not wet.
• Size: It can reach about 12 to 18 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide.
• Hardiness: It is hardy in many temperate gardens and is often grown in USDA Zones 4 to 9.

Seasonal Color

New leaves can open in soft peach tones. As they age, they may shift to amber, copper, or orange. Cooler weather can deepen the color.

Care Tips

Plant the crown at soil level and give the roots good drainage. Water during dry weather. Trim old leaves in spring. Remove old flower stems when they fade.

This is an easy choice for shade beds and mixed pots. Its broad leaves add color, shape, and texture with very little work.
