Description
Forever Red heuchera (coral bells) is prized for its vivid red, softly ruffled leaves that make a bold contrast against green foliage. Airy white flowers rise above the compact clump in late summer to early fall. Foliage typically forms a low mound, with flower stems reaching higher; allow roughly 1–2 feet of spread.
For Alabama gardens, choose bright shade or morning sun and protection from hot afternoon rays. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and keep evenly moist while establishing, then water when the surface starts to dry. Good drainage and airflow help prevent crown problems during long, humid summers. Use in shaded borders, woodland edges, and containers. Trim damaged leaves and divide mature clumps when needed. Generally hardy in USDA Zones 4–9.
