'Miracle' Heuchera PP20274
Common Name: Coral Bells
Zone 4 to 9, Evergreen (in some or all zones)
Full sun to full shade.
Plants reach 8 to 10 inches tall and 10 inches wide,
clump-forming perennial.

Foliage emerges chartreuse in spring; after several leaf changes it turns a deep brick red color, with bright chartreuse to gold edges and silvered undersides. During the warmer months of summer, red pigments may lighten and the leaves may turn green. This coral bells cultivar has a low, mounding, clump-forming habit with rounded, lobed, long-petioled leaves (2 to 4 inches wide).

Most H. villosa hybrid have cream colored flowers, 'Miracle' has pink, bell-shaped flowers. Tiny flowers appear in mid-summer on slender, wiry 12 to 14 inch stems rising well above the foliage mound may attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

A sister seedling of 'Tiramisu' PPAF, 'Miracle' was hybridized by Thierry Delabroye of France, the breeder of 'Caramel'. Like Caramel, 'Miracle' has H. villosa genes and is tolerant of heat and humidity and overwinters reliably.

Easy to grow average soil; Heucheras will perform best in organically rich, humus, medium wet, well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Performs well in full sun in the north, but prefers some afternoon shade in the south. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is particularly important. They grow most vigorously and have the strongest colors when grown in partial shade (preferably afternoon shade). They can also be grown in full shade but their growth rate will be very slow.

Coral bells are easy to grow and blend easily with most other perennials in the landscape. Because of their low, mounding habit, they are often used as edging along paths or in containers. Remove stems of faded flowers to encourage additional bloom. Foliage is essentially evergreen in warm winter climates, but the amount of retained foliage color in cold winter climates depends upon the temperatures. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes will help prevent root heaving. Clumps may be divided in the spring every 3 to 4 years .
