Can the Mocha Coral Bells be planted in the shade?


We all deserve a guilt-free indulgence once in awhile!  The Mocha in Coral Bells Mocha will delight you with its deep chocolate-colored, unique, and brilliant foliage.  The unusual chocolate brown leaves intensify in color to near black from exposure to summer sun.  This exceptional foliage compliments every perennial in the garden!

Mocha shows off its airy sprays of dainty, bell-shaped, deep coral-red flowers in partly shaded borders, under trees, and even mixed into ornamental containers on shady patios.  Heuchera is susceptible to rot, so good drainage is essential while roots establish themselves.  It can grow in zone 9 in low-humidity regions.

Plant this Mocha Coral Bells next to Southern Comfort Coral Bells for a wonderful and stunning contrast.  Plant in a mass to form an attractive ground cover or in a shady area that needs to be “lit” up.

Coral Bells can  be planted for the sunny rock garden, to line a path, or the do well in the light shade of a woodland. Their evergreen leaves have scalloped edges.  In spring, tall, thin flower stalks rise up with tiny blooms on them, giving a frothy look.
