Heuchera (Coral Bells)

Heuchera, commonly known as coral bells, brings both colour and wildlife benefits to UK gardens. Its nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees and hoverflies, supporting local ecosystems. The dense foliage also provides shelter for small insects and ground-feeding birds.

These hardy perennials thrive in partial shade and well-drained soil, making them versatile for borders and containers. Heuchera cultivars offer varied leaf colours, from deep purple to lime green, adding year-round interest. Plant them alongside other pollinator-friendly species to create a wildlife-friendly garden.
