This is what great breeding will bring you.  A bright, pleasing to the eye, coral bell, that will stand any sun and heat you throw at it. Green with red centers in the shade or yellow with red centers in the sun, this plant takes on yet another change with the cool temperatures of the fall.  As winter approaches Solar Power adds a deeper red center.  If you live in the south, this is the foamy bell that will work for you.  Introduced in 2010 but not available in mass quantities until 2011.

A new introduction for Dawin Plants (owned by Ball Seed).  Huge, aggressive grower with large orange and green leaves.  My favorite part of this new introduction is the size of the leaves and the great contrast between the bright top of the leaves and the reddish bottom.  Becomes a big heuchera quickly.  One of the nicer new coral bell introductions this year.

A new introduction for 2010 that at first glance looks like many of the red heucheras on the market but it’s not.  A very heat tolerant plant, Midnight Bayou’s black veins really bring out the red leaves.  Great substance originating from its villosa roots combined with the large leaves makes this an introduction worthy of adding another red heuchera.

An exciting new introduction for 2010, Fire Chief glows like a hot ember with its beautiful red color. Other heucheras are this red color only in the fall, Fire Chief is wine red color all season long.  It adds a touch of brown in the fall in winter but the lack of fall color is a good trade off for having that red color the rest of the year. An added bonus is the bicolor pink and white flowers that go all spring and summer long.

Heuchera ‘Autumn Leaves’ is a new heuchera from Terra Nova that highlights the changing leaves of heuchera.  All heucheras add color during the fall and winter but this one is special.  Starting Red and finishing ruby red, it really stands out in the fall.  We will be adding our own picture of this one shortly.  Contact us if you have a good photo you would like to share.
