       Heuchera (Coral Bells) are mounding perennials with heart shaped rounded , or triangular lobed leaves. They tend to be evergreen in most climates. Sprays of tiny flowers ranging in color from cream to red are produced on whispy stems that are excellent for cutting.

     Heucheras are easy to grow in flower borders, rock gardens, or containers. When grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade) they are most vigorous & have the strongest coloration. Plants are heat & humidity tolerant. Start with good well draining soil. Following are some of the great varieties available.

Berry Smoothie:purple-rose foliage white flowers 18"

Binoche: smokey black foliage white flowers 12"-15"

Birkin: Tricolor foliage topped with creamy white flowers 10"

Featured Adoptable Pet 

       Hi, my name is Livy. I am a very brightly colored calico girl. I am about 1 year old, spayed, really sweet and a bit shy. I would like to have a nice and calm home with someone who would like a companion who is not very demanding, as I will be happy to sleep next to my person and just let them learn "to be in the moment".

Purrs and more purrs, Livy
