Common Name: Coral Bells 'Caramel'
Heuchera ‘Caramel’ is a warm-toned foliage perennial valued for its rich caramel to apricot-colored leaves. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges amber-orange in spring, matures to warm caramel and copper tones through summer, and often develops deeper reddish hues in fall. The undersides of the leaves show a soft rosy tint, adding extra dimension. In late spring to early summer, airy stems carry small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, providing a light accent while the colorful leaves remain the focal point.
