- There are few truly black-colored plants, but Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Black Pearl') fits the bill. Shiny, jet black leaves fill the short coral bells and tiny white flowers rise on pink stems in summer. That's plenty of dramatic contrast built into one plant. Imagine the ruffled black leaves bordering a garden bed with a backdrop of white or yellow flowers. This little stunner will accent nearly any bed or container with its deep black foliage that lasts through fall and winter.
Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells works well to edge a garden bed or fill a container partly because of its unique color. Its short height also helps. The heuchera grows to only about 10 inches high and 18 inches around, leaving an unobstructed view of the green foliage and colorful flowers behind it. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds are drawn to Pearl Coral Bells and deer avoid it. Heuchera plants are native to North America, so this is an easy-care perennial that packs a dramatic effect in zones 4 through 9.
Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells Care
Plant Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells in sun or part shade; it will perform in either setting. Place it in nearly any soil type, so long as the soil drains well. The plant loves soil rich in humus, so adding some organic compost around its base at planting and every so often throughout the year can help it stay healthy. Give it regular, average water, trim back flower stems when desired, and remove damaged foliage in early spring.
Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells Spacing
For a jet black edging or mass planting, place your Primo Black Pearl Coral Bells about 20 inches apart from each plant's center.

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.

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).

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.
