Sandia coral bells
Heuchera pulchella
Sandia coral bells is a miniature, extra cute version of the well-known coral bells. It has a tidy, evergreen tussock of ruffled, fresh green leaves. Spikes of petite, rose-pink bells emerge in late spring, attracting hummingbirds and bees. Xeric when planted in shade. Western, straight species native.
Tips from the pros: Deadhead spent flowers periodically to keep the plant attractive.
