Cherry Cola™ Coral Bells

Cherry Cola coral bells form a low mound of red to rust-colored foliage, with red flowers held above it in spring. The compact habit and warm color suit the front of a border, a small group or a container. [A current young-plant supplier lists the cultivar as Heuchera hybrida 'Cherry Cola' and confirms its EU35419/PP22967 protection identifiers](https://www.allplant.nl/en/heuchera-cherry-cola-121700061.html). ## Planting and Seasonal Display The foliage mound is about 6 inches tall and 14 inches wide, while the slender flower stems rise higher. An older Terra Nova catalog records a 6-inch foliage height, 14-inch spread and 18-inch flower height; a current supplier reports flowering from April through June. Use those red blooms against silver or green foliage for clear color contrast. ## Growing Conditions Choose a partly shaded site or a sunnier position with reliable moisture. Provide free-draining soil and avoid leaving water around the crown. The plant can be grown in containers or mixed perennial beds; allow room for the foliage to expand without crowding. ## Maintenance Water consistently through establishment and during dry spells. Remove old flower stalks after bloom and tidy damaged foliage in spring. Avoid cutting away healthy leaves in fall, when they help protect the crown over winter. [Terra Nova’s Heuchera catalog](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/other/catalogs/Terra_Nova_2011_Summer_Supplement.pdf) records the cultivar’s compact proportions and spring-to-early-summer flowering.
