Description:
This is the largest of the Coral Bells. A vigorous, easy to grow plant, it can reach 2' tall and wide. The light green leaves are tinged with red, and has stalks of small white flowers rising a couple of feet above the foliage. It thrives in light to heavy shade with occasional watering. More tolerant of clay soils and heavy shade than other native Heucheras. Beautiful in a mass planting, it is a good choice in the dappled shade of oaks.
