Venus Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Venus’ is a compact coral bells selection with silver-sheened leaves marked by dark veins and small white flowers. Its tidy mound suits the front of a shaded border or a container, where the patterned foliage can be seen close up. [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo/?phid=032900001005731) identifies the cultivar and reports an 8–12 inch height, 10–12 inch width, early-spring to spring bloom and low-maintenance habit. ## Landscape Use Use Venus as a foliage accent in a small planting or container. The silver surface and dark veining provide contrast with solid green leaves and fine-textured plants. ## Growing Conditions Ball Seed lists sun exposure, shade tolerance and light water needs. Its size figures are ranges, so allow room for a compact plant roughly 10–12 inches across and avoid assuming one fixed mature dimension. Keep the crown at the soil surface and use a free-draining planting mix to reduce the risk of persistent wetness around the crown. ## Maintenance Remove weathered leaves as needed to keep the mound neat. Divide an established clump only if it becomes crowded, and replant divisions with the crown at soil level.
