Blackout Coral Bells
Heuchera villosa 'Blackout'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: This coral bell was given the name “Blackout” for its densely packed, glossy, nearly black leaves. The foliage retains its attractive dark purple foliage throughout the growing season. Summertime brings creamy white blossoms that open into airy, dainty panicles atop long, slender stems. They stand out against the rich foliage beneath.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
Special Considerations: Heucheras may respond better to having the dead foliage pulled out rather than cut back.
