Buttered Rum Coral Bells

Heucherella ‘Buttered Rum’ is a mounding perennial grown for maple-shaped leaves in caramel and copper shades. The foliage shifts toward rose red in cool fall weather and holds color through the year. Its warm tones add contrast to mixed borders and containers. ## Foliage and flowers The foliage is about 7 inches tall, with short flower stems reaching about 10 inches; the clump spreads roughly 15 inches wide. Flowering is often sparse, with bloom time listed in June and July. Brown, purple, and red tones are noted across the leaves, which keep their color through the seasons. See the [Buttered Rum plant profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/heucherella-buttered-rum/) for the plant’s hardiness, growth habit, and dimensions. ## Garden placement This cultivar is hardy in USDA Zones 4–9 and tolerates full sun, part shade, or full shade. It works in containers, borders, and mass plantings. Humus-rich, well-drained soil and average moisture suit Heucherella; this genus appreciates more moisture than Heuchera. ## Maintenance Keep the crown at soil level when planting. Water consistently through dry spells, and remove weathered leaves in early spring when needed. General [Heucherella growing notes](https://www.waltersgardens.com/variety.php?ID=HERCF) recommend reliable moisture and trimming damaged foliage as new leaves emerge.
