unique terra nova selection. foliage color ranges with the season, emerging bright rose pink in spring and darkening to purplish rose in summer. forms a large, boldly colored mound of foliage.
obsidian is the result of volcanic lava coming in contact with water. this process results in a glassy finish. the coral bell 'obsidian' exhibits this same glassy sheen and is closer to black than any other heuchera.
not the typical burgundy color of some heucheras, this variety sports leaves that are truly plum purple with even darker purple veins. they are attractively ruffled and have bluntly pointed tips. the newer leaves are somewhat glossy, and all have deep purple undersides.
this ivy leaved coral bell has deep mahogany-red foliage which fades to bronze-green in heat. dainty flowers are white. perennial plant of the year 1991.
