Description
Rust-red foliage forms a low mound at the front of a border, along an edge, or in a container. Heuchera Cherry Cola sends cherry-red to salmon bell-shaped flowers above the leaves from late spring into early summer.
Full sun brings stronger color, while partial shade also suits the plant. Grow it in fertile, moist but well-drained neutral soil. Mulch annually, remove faded flower spikes, and lift and replant the crown if it rises.
The red flowers attract pollinators and hummingbirds, and the foliage holds well through winter.
