Name: Heuchera 'Glitter' (Glitter Coral Bells)
Average Landscape Size: 9–12 in. tall × 12–15 in. wide; neat, compact mounding habit.
Sun Requirements: Partial shade to full shade; in Houston, it performs best with filtered morning light and total protection from the afternoon sun.
Water Needs: Moderate; prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. It is crucial to avoid heavy, standing water which can lead to crown rot.
Deer Resistance: Medium
Cold Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9; stays evergreen through most Houston winters and is extremely cold-tolerant.
Fertilization & Pruning: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Remove any winter-damaged or tattered leaves in late February to encourage a flush of fresh, shimmering foliage.
Detailed Description: If you want to add a touch of "bling" to your landscape, 'Glitter' is the variety to choose. This Heuchera is famous for its extraordinary silver foliage that truly looks like it has been dusted with metallic flakes. The silver leaves are sharply defined by thin, dark veins, and in the late spring, the plant produces tall, dainty stems of bright fuchsia-pink flowers that stand out beautifully against the silver backdrop.
For our Houston climate, 'Glitter' is a standout because it is bred from H. villosa genetics, which gives it better tolerance for our signature humidity than many older silver varieties. It stays remarkably tidy and doesn't "stretch" as much as other types. It is an ideal companion for dark green ferns, cast iron plants, or purple-leafed heucheras, providing a bright, reflective quality that makes small shade gardens feel much larger and more vibrant.
