With Caramel Coral Bells (Heuchera villosa Caramel), bring hummingbirds to even the shadiest areas of your garden. And hummers aren’t the only ones to be attracted to this plant. Its unique yellow, orange, and red leaves provide year-round interest in a tidy but tough perennial. That toughness also translates to easy care.
Growing to only about a foot tall and slightly wider, this coral bells variety tucks into nearly any part or full shade spot. It is hardy in zones 4 through 8, toughing out cold winters and returning. Each summer, flower stalks will rise from the stunning foliage and add small white flowers, just to kick up the color. Plant this versatile little shrub in a woodland garden, rock garden, or along partly shaded paths.
Caramel Coral Bells Care
Choose a spot in the landscape that gets some shade, giving your coral bell no more than about 4 to 6 hours of sun a day. In hotter zones, go for afternoon shade. The plant appreciates regular watering and a little extra irrigation in sunnier spots or hotter days. Make sure the soil is a well-draining mix, but water often enough that it never dries out completely.
After planting, add a layer of compost or mulch around the plant and replenish it in late fall. Remove any sun-damaged leaves, damaged stems, and flower stems in late fall to prepare the plant for winter. In spring, remove any winter damage. Pruning is that simple. If the plant becomes too large for its spot, you can divide it in spring.
Caramel Coral Bells Spacing
Space Caramel Coral Bells about 1.5 feet apart to give it room for air to circulate around the leaves. If forming a border, you can plant them a few inches closer to each other.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
