Heuchera Mocha

Coral Bells 'mocha'

Heuchera ‘Mocha’ is a richly colored foliage perennial valued for its deep mocha-brown to purple leaves that provide strong contrast in shaded plantings. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage with subtle veining and soft texture, maintaining its dark tones throughout the growing season and often intensifying in cooler weather. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a delicate accent while the bold leaves remain the primary ornamental feature.
