Peach Flambe Coral Bells
Heuchera 'Peach Flambe'Peach Flambe Coral Bells forms a compact, mounding clump of rounded, lobed foliage that provides exceptional color from spring through fall. New leaves emerge in vivid peach and fiery red tones, developing warm peach coloration through the growing season before shifting toward plum-purple as temperatures cool. Slender stems rise above the foliage to carry airy clusters of small, bell-shaped, creamy white flowers. The colorful foliage remains the primary ornamental feature, creating a glowing accent in shaded and partially shaded plantings.
Growing about 8 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, Peach Flambe Coral Bells works well toward the front of beds and borders where its colorful foliage can be appreciated. Its compact growth makes it useful for edging pathways, mass plantings, woodland-style gardens, and containers. The low-growing foliage also provides an effective contrast against green-leaved perennials and complements other shade-loving plants.
Peach Flambe performs best in organically rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. It can grow in full sun to partial shade, although protection from intense afternoon heat can help maintain strong foliage color and reduce moisture stress. Regular watering is important, particularly while plants establish. Spent flower stems and older foliage can be removed to maintain a tidy appearance, while dividing established clumps every few years can help rejuvenate the planting.
Care Instructions:
Planting: Plant in spring or fall with the crown positioned at soil level.
Soil: Use organically rich, humusy, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
Watering: Water regularly to maintain moderate, even moisture and prevent the soil from becoming excessively dry.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer according to product directions during active growth if needed.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stems and tired foliage; clean up remaining old foliage in spring.
Spacing: Space plants approximately 12″ – 18″ apart.
Maintenance: Remove spent blooms and damaged foliage, maintain consistent moisture, and divide established clumps every 2–3 years as needed.
