Heuchera ‘Autumn Leaves’ (Coral Bells)
Heuchera villosa × americana ‘Autumn Leaves’ is a true four-season standout, showcasing a kaleidoscope of color from spring through fall. The mid-sized leaves emerge a rich red in spring, soften to warm taupe tones in summer, and then glow ruby red again as cooler weather returns. Bred from H. villosa and H. americana, this variety offers excellent heat and humidity tolerance, making it a reliable performer across a wide range of climates. Perfect for borders, woodland gardens, or fall containers paired with mums and kale, ‘Autumn Leaves’ adds year-round texture and vibrant color wherever it’s planted.

Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Autumn Leaves’ for its ever-changing foliage color, strong seasonal interest, and dependable performance even in the heat and humidity of southern gardens.

Characteristics

Plant Type:

Perennial

Culture

Light: Coral bells can be grown in a wide range of light conditions, from full sun to shade. Foliage color and bloom are best when plants receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight.

Soil: Heuchera does best in rich well-draining soil, but is tolerant of clay or rocky soils and salt. If you have heavy clay garden soil, amend it to improve the drainage before planting your new coral bells or plant them in a raised bed.

Fertilizer/Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Heuchera is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Provide extra water during hot spells. In spring, spread a thin layer of compost or apply a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer around the base. For container-grown plants, supplement with a water-soluble fertilizer according to instructions.

Pruning: Trim back tattered foliage in early spring.

Pots: Coral bells grow beautifully in containers. Just make sure there is a hole in the bottom where the excess water can drain from. Transplant into the landscape in early fall if you’d like them to come back again next year. If you garden in zones 6b or warmer, they can be overwintered in containers.
