Heuchera (Coral Bells) – Stunning Foliage Colour for Australian Gardens

Heuchera, commonly known as Coral Bells, is a high-impact, low-maintenance foliage plant loved for its vibrant leaves and compact form. From rich burgundy and deep chocolate tones to lime green, silver, amber and peach, Heuchera delivers year-round colour in garden beds and pots—especially in part shade where many flowering plants struggle.

Ideal for borders, mass plantings, feature containers, and underplanting, Heuchera adds instant contrast and texture to modern landscapes, cottage gardens, and shaded courtyards. In warmer months, slender flower spikes rise above the foliage for a soft, airy finish and added pollinator appeal.

Growing & Care Guide (Australia)

• Light: Part shade to morning sun (avoid harsh afternoon sun in hot areas).
• Soil: Well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during establishment; moderate watering after.
• Feeding: Apply a controlled-release fertiliser in spring; top up with compost annually.
• Pruning: Remove old or damaged leaves and spent flower stems to keep plants tidy.
• Mulch: Mulch lightly to protect roots and reduce moisture loss (keep mulch off the crown).

Hot climate tip: In warm Australian regions, plant Heuchera where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch and keep colours vibrant.

What to Expect

Heuchera forms a neat, mounded clump with dense foliage. Colour intensity can vary with season, sunlight levels, and variety—many plants deepen in colour during cooler months. Flower spikes may appear in spring to summer, depending on conditions.
