Primo Peachberry Ice Coral Bells

The Story

Plant Bio

Heuchera, commonly known as Coral Bells, are shade-loving, mounding perennials grown primarily for their spectacular foliage, which comes in a vast array of colors, textures, and shapes.

'Primo Peachberry Ice' (Tnheufp) is a large, vigorous cultivar with stunning, apricot-orange new leaves that mature to a berry-pink, all overlaid with a dramatic silver veil.

Uses & Benefits:

Provides a spectacular, multi-season display of colorful foliage that shifts from apricot to pink with a silver overlay. Its mounding habit creates a soft texture that contrasts beautifully with other shade plants, and it's an excellent choice for brightening up dark corners.

Perfect for adding a splash of low-maintenance color to containers, window boxes, and small-space gardens. It serves as an effective 'spiller' or 'filler' in mixed plantings and is an excellent choice for edging shady pathways.

While grown for foliage, its delicate, airy wands of cream-colored flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and small native bees, adding an extra layer of wildlife value to the shade garden.

How to Grow

Select a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, or full shade.
Amend soil with compost to ensure it is rich and well-draining.
Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the pot.
Gently tease out the roots and place the plant in the hole.
Set the crown of the plant just above the soil level.
Backfill, water thoroughly, and apply a light layer of mulch.

Pro Tip

Plant the crown slightly above the soil line to prevent rot, the most common issue for Heuchera.

Care Guide

Do

Don't
