Primo® 'Black Pearl' Coral Bells

Primo® ‘Black Pearl’ forms a dense mound of glossy, jet-black leaves with ruffled edges and purple undersides. Pale flowers rise above the foliage in summer, creating a strong contrast with the dark leaves. [Prides Corner Farms’ cultivar listing](https://pridescorner.com/plant-name/Heuchera-hybrid-Black-Pearl-Coral-Bells) gives a mature size of 8–10 inches tall by 26–30 inches wide and zones 4–9; the Proven Winners [Primo series catalog](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/catalogs_pdfs/6_perennial_section_2020_canada_5-9.pdf) confirms the cultivar and foliage. ## Garden Use Use the dark foliage as a focal point in a border or large container, or plant it in a repeated group as a visual anchor. The broad mound pairs well with green or silver foliage nearby. ## Growing Conditions Grow in part shade or shade; it can also take sun where soil moisture is reliable. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil and water during establishment. It is listed for USDA zones 4–9. ## Maintenance In early spring, remove weathered leaves to expose new growth. Keep the crown above standing water and avoid heavy mulch against the stems.
