Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for 4 to 6 hours of morning sun with afternoon shade to maintain the best silver metallic sheen on the leaves. While it handles full sun in cooler northern climates, excessive afternoon heat in southern zones can cause the foliage colors to wash out or the leaf edges to scorch.
  • Soil: These plants thrive in rich, well-drained soil that mimics a woodland floor. If you have heavy clay, mix in plenty of organic compost or aged bark to improve drainage, as "wet feet" during the winter is the fastest way to lose a Coral Bell.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Silver Scrolls twice a week to ensure the root system establishes deep in the soil. Once mature, this variety is relatively drought tolerant, but inconsistent moisture will lead to smaller leaves and a less vigorous mounded shape. If the soil stays bone dry for too long, you will notice the vibrant purple veining start to fade and the plant may go dormant prematurely.

Pruning Tips

Silver Scrolls is semi-evergreen, so do not cut it back to the ground in the fall because the old foliage protects the crown over winter. In early spring, simply snip away any tattered or browned leaves from the previous year to make room for fresh new growth. Think of this like a spring cleaning that allows the plant to direct all its energy into the emerging silver rosettes and upcoming flower spikes.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a controlled-release, balanced fertilizer or a layer of rich compost in early spring just as new leaves appear. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall. Too much nitrogen late in the season encourages soft, tender growth that cannot harden off properly before the first frost, leaving the plant vulnerable to winter damage.

Description

Get silvery foliage that stands out in the shade! The Silver Scrolls Coral Bells (Heuchera x 'Silver Scrolls') have unique plum and silver foliage with deep-purple veins! The scalloped margins of the leaves and prominent veins add texture and interest as the pewter foliage gradually matures to green throughout the year. Also known as Alumroot/Alum Root, these are vibrant and unexpected foliage plants and remarkably easy to grow for gardeners of all levels!

In the springtime, creamy white flowers appear that last into the summer! These are held on tall, slender, wiry stems and look like tiny and dainty fairy bells high above the silvery leaves! Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and even Hummingbirds seek these nectar-rich blossoms out all summer long.

However, Coral Bells are not known for their flowers, but for their foliage! In fact, in hot climates and mild winters, Heuchera can often be evergreen to semi-evergreen for color all year! Very cold-hardy and humidity-resistant throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 9, there is little that fazes these tough perennial plants, including deer and rabbits!

Planting and Application:

The smaller, space-saving size of Silver Scrolls is versatile in large and small gardens! Add silvery cooling color around your poolside and decks, shaded porches, and patios, or even around a shady front porch. Mix with purples, burgundy, white and variegated plants to maximize the foliage, or get a bit broody by mixing Silver Scrolls with black and dark-leaved plants, or flowers!

Having a mounded, compact habit, this Coral Bell is an excellent choice for mixed or specimen containers and planter gardens as spillers and fillers. Perennial and Cottage gardens, Rose and Rock Gardens all gain a unique foliage edging and border plant! Use as living groundcover mulch and let Coral Bells mingle throughout the landscape between larger shrubs and trees where it dances in their shade.

Create the shade garden of your dreams by mixing these bright perennials among variegated Hosta, Painted Ferns Begonia, Barrenworts, and of course, other Coral Bells! There's such a wide variety of colors to choose from that you'll have trouble choosing just one!

  • Airy, Dainty Creamy White Bell-Shaped Blossoms
  • Pollinator & Hummingbird Friendly
  • Smaller Mounded, Low-Growing Garden Ornamentals
  • Borders & Edging, Containers, Specimens & Lasting Long-Lived Color

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Coral Bells grow best in enriched well-drained soils in part shade. Plant these Perennials do well in more sun in the northern part of its range and afternoon shade in the south, or even in full shade in the hottest climates. Keep them looking their best, by ensuring you water during hot, dry weather, giving the plant about one inch of water per week. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

An easy-care perennial, Coral Bells should be cut back in the early spring. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Tolerating heat and humidity, it is low-maintenance and performs well even in the South where it can display evergreen tendencies. Cold and drought tolerant and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to faze this plant. Deer resistant.
