Heuchera 'CHERRY COLA' coral bells
Symbivit Tric (arbuscular)

Heucheras � coral bells are undemanding yet striking perennials that have gained popularity thanks to their beautiful foliage and delicate flowers, sometimes appearing in rich inflorescences. They form dense clumps of leaves with a breathtaking range of colours. The genus was named after Johann Heinrich von Heucher (1677�1746), a German physician and professor. It includes around forty species of perennial plants, mostly native to North America, except for H. sichotensis from the Russian Far East. To Europe, heucheras were introduced in the 18th century. their classification can be quite challenging as in the wild, these plants often crossbreed, and their flowers change shape significantly as they mature. That�s why so many breeders are drawn to them � their variable gene pool invites experimentation, and the thrill of discovering something new at the end of a breeding attempt is simply irresistible 😊.
Striking, provocative, and beautiful. That is another excellent coral bells variety bred by Jane N.Egger from the famous Oregon based Terra Nova Nurseries in the USA. It is called Cherry Cola and has medium-sized, only slightly ruffled leaves with rounded lobes. Their colour is an extraordinary shade of red grapefruit flesh - a mixture of deep salmon pink and reddish-brown. In late April about 40 cm tall, slender stems rise above the foliage, producing tiny, cherry red flowers in erect panicles for 2-3 months in several flushes. Patented in 2012 as PP22,967.
