By: Meriel Bradley

Corel Bells or Heucheras add stunning leaf colour to the garden from greens to gold, lime, burgundy, and more.

The leaves not only add colour but shape and texture too and areĀ often large and heart-shaped with cut edges and can sometimes be ruffled.

They grow graceful clusters of flowers on arching stems from late spring and into summer – which the hummingbirds love.
