Coral Bells - Midnight Bayou
Coral Bells - Midnight Bayou Heuchera Midnight Bayou (Coral Bell), Heuchera 'Midnight Bayou', offers a fabulous four season interest! ‘Midnight Bayou’ first appears as a compact mound with ruffled lobed red-purple leaves; leaves have dark veins. Then the leaf color changes with the season from red purple to silver purple in the fall. Dainty spikes of pink bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage from late spring to summer. Like most coral bells, its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front; should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. Cold and drought tolerant and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to phase this plant. But to keep ‘Midnight Bayou’ looking its best, be sure to water in hot, dry weather, giving the plant about one inch of water per week. Heuchera adds a bit of flavor to any perennial garden with its texture, vigor, and vibrant color. Attracting butterflies and hummingbirds, 'Midnight Bayou’ will surely become a “must have” plant for your borders, containers or mass plantings!
