Heuchera Villosa 'Miracle'

Coral Bell, Alum Root

Heuchera villosa ‘Miracle’ is a colorful foliage perennial valued for its dramatic multi-toned leaves and strong garden performance. It forms a broad, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges bright chartreuse to lime-green in the center with bold burgundy-red margins, creating striking contrast throughout the growing season. The foliage color often intensifies in cooler weather. In late summer to early fall, slender stems carry airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, extending seasonal interest beyond many coral bells.
