Coral bells

Coral bells 'Silver Scrolls' will brighten up even the shadiest corners of your garden with its unusually colored leaves. Wild Heucheras come from the wooded and rocky areas of North America, where they naturally grow in the undergrowth of taller trees. That is why they will be best off in partial shade or shade in your garden. From the supplied grown seedling in a pot, which you simply transplant straight into the flower bed, a rich clump will quickly grow. It likes well-drained, humus-rich soil with moderate but regular watering. Even a complete beginner can manage growing it; it needs no support and playfully resists severe frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees. The 'Silver Scrolls' cultivar is exceptional for its silvery gray leaves, which have a distinct burgundy shade on the underside. During May to July, thin stems growing up to sixty centimeters emerge from the center of the plant, on which tiny, pure white and light pink flowers appear. These edible flowers act as a great attraction for bees and other pollinators. If you like decorating your home, you can use the stems with flowers for cutting into spring and summer bouquets. While they are not suitable for drying for floristry purposes, the plant will ensure a beautiful winter effect in the flower bed because its colorful leaves remain attractive even under a layer of snow. It is a short-lived perennial that does not self-seed. To achieve a continuous cover, we recommend planting roughly six to nine plants per square meter, ideally at a distance of thirty to forty centimeters apart. Just beware of potential waterlogging and occasionally check whether a vine weevil is feasting on the plant.
