Caramel Coral Bells

The Caramel Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Caramel') has unique and glowing caramel-orange foliage on a vigorous growing plant. The clump-forming perennial grows into a mound, requiring very little maintenance! Perfect for the busy or novice gardener. The unusual color melds beautifully among orange and yellow flowers and is eye-catching, to say the least!

The improvements on this 'Caramel' must be seen to be appreciated, with features of creamy colors and rosy, brown sugar highlights! The foliage is one of the best features of Coral Bells, as the leaves are large, heart-shaped, and rounded, with striking colors and variegation patterns.

The small blooms that the Caramel Coral Bells display in the early Summer will attract Hummingbirds and butterflies. Tiny creamy white, bell-shaped flowers are lifted above the wispy stems, up to a height of 18 inches. Caramel thrives in heat and humidity and is one of the hardiest of all the Coral Bells.
