Heuchera Petite Pearl Fairy

Pearl Fairy Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Petite Pearl Fairy’ is a compact perennial valued for its delicate pink flowers and tidy foliage mound. It forms a small, neat clump of rounded green leaves that provide soft texture in shaded plantings. In late spring to early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying airy clusters of soft pink bell-shaped flowers that add gentle color and movement to the garden. Its smaller size makes it especially useful for edging and container plantings.
