Heuchera 'Black Pearl'

  Meet the new standard in black Heuchera. ‘Black Pearl’ forms an incredibly dense habit of shiny, jet black leaves with scalloped, ruffled edges. Each 4-4.5” leaf has rosy purple undersides, revealed with the intense ruffling of the leaves. Oldest leaves have a slight silver overlay. To top it off—‘Black Pearl’ keeps its intense black color even in full sun, instead of bleaching to brown. White flowers with pink calyxes appear in midsummer (requires vernalization). The New PRIMO™ Collection of Heuchera expands on the DOLCE® Heuchera for bigger, better landscape plants.   This plant is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The villosa species is a large, late blooming type that exhibits an increased tolerance of high heat and humidity over other species. Most produce cream flowers in midsummer, though they are grown more for their fantastic foliage. H. villosa is native to the southeastern United States.   Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers.     Height:  8-10 Inches Spread:  18-20 Inches Flower Color:  Pink shades Foliage Color:  Black shades Sun or Shade?:  Full Sun to Full Shade Want to see wings?:  Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, bee friendly Need critter resistant plants?:  Rabbit resistant   *Photo and info courtesy of Walters Gardens, Inc.
