Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain' (Coral Bells)

Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain,' commonly known as Coral Bells, is a stunning perennial prized for its foliage. The leaves are large, marbled with silver and green, and have a purple underside, creating a striking contrast. The plant produces slender stems with small, creamy-white bell-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage. It is an excellent choice for shady borders, woodland gardens, or as a ground cover.

Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain' thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture, though it can tolerate some drought once established. It is deer- and rabbit-resistant and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. This low-maintenance perennial is perfect for adding texture and color to shaded areas, and its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest in milder climates. Pair it with hostas, ferns, or astilbes for a lush, layered garden effect.
