The Story
Plant Bio
Heuchera, commonly known as coral bells, is a genus of clump-forming herbaceous perennials native to North America, prized for their lobed, evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage. The plants produce airy panicles of small, bell-shaped flowers on slender stems that rise well above the basal rosette of leaves.
'Northern Exposure Lime' is distinguished by its exceptional cold hardiness and high resistance to rust, inherited from its Heuchera richardsonii parentage. The rounded, crinkled leaves emerge lemon-yellow in spring and mature to a vibrant lime-green that persists throughout the entire year.

Planting
How to Grow
- Select a site with rich, humus-rich soil in partial to full shade, or full sun if consistent moisture can be maintained.
- Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball but of equal depth to ensure the crown remains level with the soil surface.
- Backfill with native soil amended with organic matter, pressing gently around the roots without burying the central growing point.
- Water thoroughly to settle the soil, and apply a thin layer of organic mulch, keeping it clear of the crown.
Pro Tip
Plant the central crown flush with or slightly above the soil surface, as burying it beneath the soil line traps moisture and causes fatal crown rot.
Keep It Thriving
Care Guide
Do
- Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained, especially when grown in sunnier positions.
- Groom the plant in late winter by removing dead or tattered leaves to make way for spring growth.
- Apply a light application of balanced, slow-release organic fertilizer in early spring.
Don't
- Do not bury the central woody crown when planting or mulching, as this induces rot.
- Do not shear the plant back into old, leafless woody stems, which lack the ability to regenerate.
- Do not allow the soil to dry out completely, which causes leaf scorch and decline.
