Coral Bells ‘Black Forest Cake’ is a bold and compact Heuchera prized for its rich, dark foliage and vivid flower color.

This perennial features smooth, deep chocolate-brown leaves that create striking contrast in the garden year-round. In spring through summer, slender flower stems rise above the foliage, displaying cherry-red blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Deer resistant and highly adaptable, ‘Black Forest Cake’ tolerates coastal exposure and clay soils with ease. Its low, tidy habit makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, woodland plantings, borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to bring dramatic foliage and vibrant blooms to your garden.
