Coral Bells Culture Pt. I: Siting, Landscape Uses, Companions, And Planting Coral Bells are fairly tough and can be placed in open locations. They prefer some protection from cold winter winds and they they do not like to be overcrowded in hot and humid places. Landscape Uses, and Companions The attractive foliage of Heuchera, Tiarella, and ×Heucherella is very valuable to garden designers because it provides a season-long splash of color. Colorful foliage is much more valuable in garden design than flower color because flowers are evanescent. However, Heuchera flowers should not be discounted because they bring an open, airy, informal flavor to the garden during part of the growing season. Gardeners can reliably count on a full season of purple, bronze, chartruese, or silver foliage color in their garden when they incorporate Heuchera. Designers can use Heuchera in partial shade locations in the same way that they use Hostas. Heuchera provide the same rosette growth habit as a small or medium-sized Hosta with a larger array of foliage and flower colors. In addition, Heuchera are not very palatable to deer and can be used as a substitute for Hosta in gardens that are being dashed by Dancer and blitzed by Blitzen. Tiarella are better for deep shade than Heuchera which prefer partial shade or even direct sun in some locations. The red-, bronze-, purple-, chartreuse-, and yellow-leaved cultivars look great as accents, specimen plants, or as an edging. The green- or silver-leaved cultivars look great planted in large drifts, for their form and for the masses of dainty flowers that seem to float above the leaves. Imagine what 30 Heuchera ‘Paris' or Tiarella ‘Pink Skyrocket' plants would look like in a bed beneath a redbud, crape myrtle or a dogwood. Stunning! Pair Heuchera together with bulbs like snowdrop, crocus, daffodil or tulip to provide foliar interest when the bulbs are dormant. Some good companions for Heuchera, Tiarella, and ×Heucherella include Carex, Ajuga, Phlox, wild ginger, fern, Cimicifuga, Eupatorium, Hosta, Epimedium, and Tricyrtis. Group the purple-leaved cultivars with other purple plants such as Cercis ‘Forest Pansy' (Red bud) or Cotinus coggygria (purple smoke tree) to create a purple and silver haven. Or contrast the purple-leaved cultivars with complimentary colors such as yellow (Lysimachia ‘Aurea'), pink (Lychnis) or white (Aloysia virgata). Similarly, pair the trees and shrubs listed above with yellow- or bronze-leaved Heuchera to create a contrasting color palette. Use the silver-leaved cultivars with other silver or white plants in a formal garden or in a night garden. They look great with white-flowered Hydrangea ‘Annabelle', Phlox ‘David', any white varigated english ivy, moon vine, etc. Create a riot of hot colors by using the red-, pink-, or bronze-leaved cultivars with other hot colors like red, orange, and yellow. For example, surround a bed of brightly colored Impatiens with a border of Heuchera ‘Georgia Peach'. Planting Plant root balls of potted Heuchera, Tiarella, and ×Heucherella no deeper than they are in their pots. Use mulch to protect the Coral Bells crowns during the cold winter months, but do not layer it too thickly or you may reduce summer air circulation and promote fungal rot.
