Outstanding foliage is burnished black and is spotted with hot pink in the spring. Throughout the summer the leaves gradually fade and the spots become a mix of cream and pink. The flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies. It is deer resistant and looks amazing when planted in containers. An exquisite plant that will have the neighbors talking! A sport of H. 'Obsidian'.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Coral Bells prefer moist, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil. Amend with compost before planting. They will take sun or partial shade, though afternoon shade is required in hot regions to prevent leaf scorch. In cold climates, mulch well, after the ground freezes. If the plants heave due to frost, carefully press back into place in spring. Heucheras generally need to be divided and replanted every 3 years, burying the woody rootstock and keeping the crowns above the soil surface.
