Heuchera (Heuchera Americana Dale's Strain) - Every bit as attractive, but a new look for Heuchera, this variety grown from Heuchera seeds can grow in hot and humid summers. Heuchera, also known as Coral Bells, do well in the southern states where the heat and humidity are intense. Gardeners are discovering a wave of new Heucheras bred from the native Heuchera Americana, renowned for its vigor and resistance to heat and humidity. This Coral Bells plant has lustrous, large, evergreen leaves of coppery purple that hold their color through the growing season. Late summer brings 3-foot-tall wands of tiny, bell-shaped, pinkish white blooms. It makes a lovely addition to the flower garden! One reason for the growing popularity of heucheras is their stunning array of leaf colors, shapes, sizes and textures.
Many gardeners recommend that Heuchera seeds be stratified, which means that they must be refrigerated and put through a cold period lasting several weeks. Once the flower seed has been refrigerated for several weeks, it can be sown indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Using quality starter mix and starter trays, sow Coral Bells seeds into cells, pressing the flower seed into the soil. Keep Heuchera seed moist. When temperature are consistently warm outdoors and danger of frost has passed, young Heuchera seedlings can be hardened off moved outdoors.
