Coral Petite Coral Bells

Heuchera sanguinea 'Coral Petite' (Heuchera sanguinea 'Coral Petite') is a charming, refined, and genuinely compact coral bells cultivar that captures all the beloved character of this classic shade garden perennial in a perfectly scaled, petite form — producing a neat, low mound of attractive, rounded, scalloped green foliage topped by an abundance of slender, wiry stems bearing delicate, airy clusters of vivid coral-red bell-shaped flowers that bring color, movement, and a light, naturalistic grace to shaded and partly shaded garden spaces throughout the long bloom season. 'Coral Petite' is a species-true selection of Heuchera sanguinea — the original wild coral bells of the American Southwest — retaining that species' characteristically vivid, saturated coral-red flower color in a more compact, tidy, garden-friendly form that integrates beautifully into smaller spaces, container arrangements, and front-of-border placements where standard-sized heucheras might overwhelm.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and grow into its characteristic neat, compact mounding form. 'Coral Petite' excels as a refined shade garden specimen, a front-of-border edging plant in partially shaded positions, a pollinator-supporting border filler in woodland garden compositions, and a refined container subject where its compact size, attractive foliage, and vivid coral-red flower stems can be appreciated at close range throughout the bloom season.

• Vivid Coral-Red Bell-Shaped Flowers on Airy Stems: Delicate, airy clusters of vivid coral-red bell-shaped flowers are held on slender wiry stems above the foliage mound throughout the long bloom season — a graceful, naturalistic floral display of genuine color impact and light, hummingbird-attracting beauty in shaded and partly shaded garden spaces.
• Compact, Petite Garden-Friendly Form: A truly compact, neat, low-mounding habit that integrates gracefully into smaller shade gardens, front-of-border positions, container arrangements, and woodland compositions where standard heuchera cultivars might overwhelm — delivering full coral bells character in a precisely scaled, well-behaved form.
• Attractive Scalloped Green Foliage: Rounded, scalloped, fresh green leaves provide a clean, refined foliage backdrop that frames the vivid coral-red flower stems with classic heuchera character — remaining ornamentally attractive and consistently tidy throughout the entire growing season.
• Hummingbird & Pollinator Magnet: The vivid, tubular, nectar-rich coral-red bell flowers are powerfully attractive to hummingbirds, native bees, and beneficial insects throughout the long bloom season — making 'Coral Petite' one of the most reliably effective and ornamentally beautiful hummingbird plants for shaded and partly shaded garden positions.
• Shade Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Thrives in partial to full shade with consistent moisture — a reliably low-maintenance, self-sufficient shade garden perennial that delivers vivid color, hummingbird activity, and refined foliage character with minimal care across a long, generous bloom season.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in partial shade to full shade with fertile, consistently moist, well-drained soil; avoid hot, dry, full-sun positions that stress the foliage and shorten the bloom season significantly. Water regularly, keeping soil evenly moist. USDA Hardiness Zones 3–8; mature height: 8–12 inches in bloom; spread: 10–14 inches. Bloom time: late spring through midsummer, with possible rebloom in fall in mild climates. Divide every three to four years in early spring to maintain vigor and prolific flowering.
