Zipper Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Zipper’ has glossy, deeply ruffled leaves that shift from orange in spring to golden amber through summer and winter, with richly colored backs. Its compact mound brings foliage color to borders and containers, and its cultivar identity and patent number are documented by [Terra Nova Nurseries](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/heuchera-zipper/). ## Garden placement The breeder lists foliage about 8 inches tall and 12 inches wide, with flower stems reaching approximately 18 inches, and USDA hardiness zones 4–9. The plant grows in full sun, partial shade, or full shade; afternoon shade and steady moisture help protect foliage in hot conditions. Plant in organic, moderately well-drained soil, and allow the surface to dry somewhat between waterings once established. Its spring flowers are small and secondary to the leaves. Terra Nova describes the cultivar’s glossy orange-gold foliage and garden performance, while the [plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP25428P3/en) documents the same cultivar and its spring flowering. ## Maintenance Avoid planting the crown deeply, and trim damaged foliage in early spring as needed. Water more often during establishment and hot, dry weather, then avoid keeping the root zone wet. The patent record identifies the named cultivar as Heuchera ‘Zipper’ and records grant publication on April 7, 2015; the catalog retains its established cultivar and EU grant identifiers.
