Heuchera 'Midnight Rose'

Midnight Rose Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' produces airy sprays of small, creamy white flowers in late spring to early summer, rising above the foliage on slender stems and attracting bees and other pollinators. Rounded, deeply lobed leaves are rich burgundy-purple with bright pink speckling scattered across the surface with a lightly ruffled texture. The vivid markings become more pronounced as new growth emerges, while the foliage remains attractive through much of the year.

Design tip

Use repeating drifts of this dramatic foliage to anchor shaded borders and create bold focal points beneath lighter companion plants. Contrast the richly colored leaves with silvery foliage, graceful textures, and evergreen structure for layered plantings that remain eye-catching throughout the seasons.
