Electric Plum™ Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Electric Plum’ is a compact coral bells cultivar with near-black new leaves that mature to vivid plum-purple with dark veining. Bright pink flowers rise on dark stems above the foliage in midsummer, adding a second color accent to the evergreen mound. ## Garden use Its 8–10-inch foliage height and 16–18-inch spread work well along a path, at the front of a border, or in a container. The selection is a Heuchera villosa hybrid; that parentage is associated with greater tolerance of heat and humidity. [Walters Gardens’ cultivar profile](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=HEUEP) lists USDA zones 4–9, pink flowers, purple-to-near-black foliage, and midsummer bloom. ## Growing conditions Grow in well-drained soil with average moisture. Partial shade helps retain strong foliage color, while the cultivar can also be grown in sunnier or shadier exposures where watering and local conditions are suitable. ## Maintenance Remove old or damaged leaves in early spring and spent flower stems after bloom. Keep the crown level with the soil surface and avoid persistently wet winter soil.
