Think of that area in your landscape where you would like to jazz it up a bit with a bright red color. Forever® Red Coral Bells (Heuchera 'TNHEUFR') will be your new go-to plant. Forever® Red has the reddest leaves ever on a neat, mounded crown. These leaves are cut and somewhat ruffled and the color is reddest in the spring and fall when the temperatures are cooler.
Once midsummer comes around this plant sprouts up 14-inch spikes of white flowers that erupt from red stems, with red buds and are so surrounded by red that they look pink! What a show to behold! Forever® Red is not only a beautiful plant but you will enjoy watching it attract the attention of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!
You won't have to worry much about rabbits and deer as they tend to leave this plant alone. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, these Coral Bells grow 7 - 14 inches in height when in bloom, and spreads to a leafy mound 12-14 inches in width.
Planting and Application:
This versatile plant can be planted just about anywhere. Plant them as edging plants, in Rock Garden, mass plantings, sun or shade gardens, mixed borders, and as nice elegant plants in the front of any border. Fantastic skirting around structures, flagpoles, and mailboxes, the bright red foliage lights up a tired foundation or staircase leading to your home's front door.
Forever® Red looks great when paired with Forever® Purple Coral Bells or other Vivid Coral Bell selections! Mix and match throughout the shade garden or in mixed planters on the porch for an elegant and vivid combination of saturated colors! The dainty blooms and vibrant foliage looks great in the garden and in your indoor floral arrangements too!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Forever® Red in the full sun in cooler climates, full shade in hot climates, or part shade anywhere in between, and watch it thrive! This plant requires well-drained soil and medium moisture. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around the base of your plant. It can be evergreen in the warmer climates, and in colder regions simply pick or snip off any dry or brown leaves in early spring, to allow fresh new foliage to develop. Other than that, these herbaceous Perennials are low-maintenance!
- No Fade Color in Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Adaptable to a Variety of Well-Drained Soils & Conditions
- Herbaceous Perennial - Evergreen in Warm Climates
- Urban Environment Tolerant & Shrugs Off Heat & Humidity
- Very Easy to Grow & Deer and Rabbits Leave it Alone
As you are planning out your garden think of adding more colors of Coral Bells, Hostas or any other shade-loving plants to compliment your new Forever Red Coral Bells from Nature Hills Nursery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prune Coral Bells?
Coral Bells do best when pruned in the early spring. Leaving the foliage intact as an extra blanket for winter protection over the crown. In some climates, Coral Bells can be semi-evergreen, so leaving those colorful leaves up all winter adds winter interest!
Do Coral Bells prefer sun or shade?
Coral Bells need partial sun/shade or full shade in warmer climates. They do best in the morning sun to dry the leaves of dew and afternoon shade to provide relief from the hot summer sun.
Do Coral Bells spread?
Coral Bells can spread into tidy mounds about 2-3 feet in width but do not spread by rhizomes or stolons further than where they're planted.
Where do Coral Bells grow best?
Coral Bells love a shaded site in enriched soil that is well-drained. They appreciate regular moisture and a mulched root zone.
Do Coral Bells attract hummingbirds?
Coral Bells are loved by pollinators and hummingbirds! All walks of beneficial pollinators will show up to sip their nectar.
What pairs with Coral Bells?
These shade-loving perennials pair with lacy Astilbe and Ferns, other coarse foliage plants like Hosta, and the lobed foliage of Columbines! Try pairing with Barrenworts and Bergenia too!
