Add bold foliage contrast with Heuchera × 'Dressed Up™ Evening Gown' (Coral Bells 'Dressed Up™ Evening Gown'). You get a dense, mounded perennial with large, glossy, heavily ruffled leaves that read nearly black and shine in the border or a container.
Plant it in rich, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist, especially during the first growing season. It tolerates sun or shade, but you will typically see the richest foliage color in part shade; in hotter regions, give afternoon shade to reduce scorch. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry, and mulch lightly to help keep roots cool and moisture steady (keep mulch off the crown).
In midsummer, slender flower stems rise above the foliage with small bell-like blooms that add a light, airy look and can draw pollinators and hummingbirds. Tidy the plant by removing spent flower stems and snipping off any tired leaves. In late winter or early spring, trim away damaged foliage so fresh growth can take center stage. Use this coral bells as a refined edging plant, a repeating accent through mixed shade beds, or a striking focal point in a pot.
