Description
Georgia Peach heuchera (coral bells) offers foliage that changes through the seasons, starting in peachy tones, deepening to rosy pink, and often taking on purple-pink shades in cooler weather. Small white flowers appear on upright reddish stems in early to midsummer, adding a light accent above the foliage. Allow approximately 1–2 feet of spread, with flower stems extending above the leafy mound.
For Alabama and other hot, humid Southeastern gardens, choose morning sun with afternoon shade or bright filtered light. Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil and water when the top layer begins to dry. Avoid both prolonged drought and wet crowns. A light mulch helps moderate summer soil temperatures. Remove tired leaves and divide mature clumps if crowded. Use in shaded borders, mixed planters, and woodland edges. Generally hardy in USDA Zones 4–9.
