Coral Bells 'Ruby Tuesday' (Heuchera 'Ruby Tuesday') gives you season-long foliage color in a tidy, mounding perennial that looks at home in beds, borders, and containers. New leaves emerge ruby red and mature to a deeper merlot tone, often showing a soft silvery veil that highlights the dramatic ruffles and fluting. In late spring into early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage and carry clusters of tiny white, starry flowers that add a light, airy finish without hiding the leaves.
Plant Coral Bells 'Ruby Tuesday' where you can enjoy the texture up close: along a path, at the front of a mixed border, or as a repeating accent through a shade-to-sun planting. You will get the best foliage color and overall performance in full sun to part shade, especially where the soil drains well and stays evenly moist but not soggy. Set the crown at soil level and avoid burying it; good air flow and careful planting depth help the plant stay vigorous year after year.
At maturity, Heuchera 'Ruby Tuesday' typically reaches about 9-16 inches tall (with flower stems to the upper end of that range) and spreads about 14-16 inches. Use it to echo red and burgundy tones in companion plants, or pair it with silver, chartreuse, or deep green foliage for high contrast. Once established, you can keep it looking fresh by removing tired leaves and trimming spent bloom stems after flowering.
