Heuchera ‘Pinky Panky’

Common Name:
Coral Bells ‘Pinky Panky’

Description:
Heuchera ‘Pinky Panky’ is a compact, ornamental perennial admired for its striking foliage. The leaves display a smoky grey‑green background with splashes and mottling of soft pink and silver, giving the plant a delicate, almost ethereal appearance. In late spring through summer, airy sprays of small pink bell‑shaped flowers rise above the foliage, adding vertical interest without overshadowing the leaf display. The foliage remains attractive even when the plant is not flowering, making it a steady garden feature. It thrives best in part shade to dappled light, in moist, well‑drained soils enriched with organic matter. In Melbourne’s climate, it will perform reliably in sheltered garden beds, containers, and shaded borders.
