Heuchera Molly Bush
Molly Bush Coral Bell
Heuchera ‘Molly Bush’ is a distinctive foliage perennial valued for its silvery-green leaves highlighted with deep burgundy veining. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage with a soft metallic sheen that brightens shaded plantings while providing attractive texture. The leaf color remains appealing through the growing season and can deepen slightly in cooler weather. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a light accent while the patterned leaves remain the main ornamental feature.
