Name: Heuchera 'Forever Red' (Forever Red Coral Bells)
Average Landscape Size: 7–10 in. tall × 12–14 in. wide; compact, mounding habit.
Sun Requirements: Partial shade to full shade (protect from harsh afternoon sun in Texas).
Water Needs: Moderate; prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Avoid soggy "wet feet" which can lead to root rot in our heavy clay.
Deer Resistance: Medium
Cold Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9; stays evergreen in our mild Houston winters.
Fertilization & Pruning: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer in early spring. Prune back any older, tattered leaves in late winter to make room for fresh, bright red new growth.
Detailed Description: If you’ve been looking for a plant that provides a true, deep red color without relying on blooms, Forever Red Coral Bells is the gold standard. While many "red" plants fade to bronze or green in the Texas heat, this variety holds its intense crimson-red hue exceptionally well. The leaves are beautifully ruffled and have a slight waxy sheen that makes them pop against darker green ferns or hostas.
In late spring and summer, it produces dainty red flowers on thin stems that rise above the foliage, which are a secret favorite for local hummingbirds. For Houston gardeners, the key to success is placement; it thrives in filtered light or morning sun with protection from our scorching 3:00 PM heat. It’s a fantastic choice for adding a professional "designer" look to your shaded borders, woodland gardens, or even decorative patio containers. It’s tough, low-maintenance, and provides that rare red foliage color that is so hard to find in shade-loving plants.
