Heuchera hybrid 'Berry Smoothie' pbr

Common Name:
Berry Smoothie Coral Bells

Description:
Heuchera hybrid 'Berry Smoothie' is a vibrant and visually striking perennial prized for its bold, berry-toned foliage that adds lasting colour to shaded and semi-shaded areas of the garden. The large, rounded leaves emerge in brilliant rose-pink shades in spring, maturing to a rich burgundy with silvery highlights as the seasons progress. In summer, delicate creamy-white flower spikes rise above the foliage, adding vertical interest without overwhelming the display. 'Berry Smoothie' thrives in part shade to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. In Melbourne gardens, it performs beautifully in mixed borders, under deciduous trees, or in decorative pots. This cultivar is also heat tolerant and retains strong leaf colour throughout the warmer months. Ideal for creating contrast in foliage-focused plantings, this clump-forming perennial brings a lush, refined character to cottage gardens, modern landscapes, and container arrangements alike.
