Heuchera Crimson Curls

Crimson Curls Silver Bells

Heuchera ‘Crimson Curls’ is a dramatic foliage perennial valued for its deeply ruffled, burgundy to reddish-purple leaves. It forms a compact, mounded clump of heavily curled foliage that creates strong texture and rich color throughout the growing season. The leaves often deepen in tone during cooler weather, adding seasonal depth. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, providing a soft contrast while the bold leaves remain the primary ornamental feature.
