Coral Bells

About this plant

This stunning perennial offers year-round interest with its unique, ever-changing foliage. New leaves emerge black-crimson, gradually developing striking hot pink flecks that intensify with age and cooler temperatures. In late spring to early summer, delicate white flowers appear on tall, slender stems, adding an airy contrast to the rich leaves. ‘Midnight Rose’ is a vigorous grower, forming a neat, mounding habit perfect for borders, containers, or mass plantings. Its bold coloration makes it an excellent choice for adding drama and texture to shaded gardens, pairing beautifully with other shade-loving plants like hostas or ferns. Easy to care for and exceptionally resilient, this Heuchera is a standout selection for any garden.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' is relatively low maintenance. Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage new foliage growth and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder climates, a light layer of mulch in late fall can protect crowns from winter heaving. Divide overcrowded clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
