Coral Bells - Peach Flambe The Coral Bells Peach Flambe, Heuchera 'Peach Flambe' (PP17,195), produces perhaps the most striking color yet of all the Coral Bells. The ruffled leaves have a soft peach color in the spring and fall and are bright orange with a touch of red during the summer. Taller shoots of white colored flowers appear on this variety in late spring. Coral Bells are grown more for their foliage color but the small blooms that they contain will attract hummingbirds. Like most Coral Bells, it thrives in partial sunlight but once established it will also grow in shade. Use this coral bell as a ground cover, in rock gardens, as a border plant or as an edger along paths and walkways.
