Heuchera Midnight Rose
Midnight Rose Coral Bells
This heuchera is prized for its unique foliage. The leaves, a very dark purple almost black, are speckled with bright pink spots, creating a striking contrast. This evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, especially when illuminated by sunlight. In late spring and early summer, this variety produces small creamy white flowers on long stems that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. For care, Heuchera Midnight Rose prefers well-drained, slightly moist soil with partial shade. Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid excess water as this plant does not tolerate soggy soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant colors. Remove faded flowers and trim the foliage slightly in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Hardy, this plant tolerates the cold well, but mulching around the base may be recommended to protect the roots during harsh winters.
