Plant Picks for May: Heuchera spp.
Heucheras, or 'Coral Bells', are a versatile group of semi-evergreen perennials w/ a beautiful range of foliage color & delightful sprays of small flowers in summer. Hummingbirds & butterflies are attracted to the flowers and they also make a wonderful airy filler in cut arrangements. There are varieties suitable for sun to shade & their only big requirement is well-drained soil, especially in winter. They are best planted as a border or en mass.
Each spring, old leaves should be cleaned out to make way for new spring foliage. After flowering, wands should be removed to encourage more blooms. Otherwise, these plants are happy w/ an annual feeding or even just compost as mulch. Size varies with variety, but most foliage maxes out at 12-18 inches tall and a little wider. Flower wands vary in height but their airy nature makes them not much of a concern for placement. Clumps can be divided every 3-4 years in fall and nice, young divisions can be used to replace older woody plants.
