Overview
Coral bells (Heuchera), foamy bells (× Heucherella) and foamflower (Tiarella) are low, mounding plants, many of them grown for colorful leaves. Most of them take anything from sun to shade; the rest want part shade or shade.
The catalog's advice for growing them with lavender: "Foamflower needs shade and moist, woodsy soil, so keep it away from the sunny lavender beds and plant it under trees, along a shaded walk or with hostas and ferns."

Tips
- Plant these in the 🌳 shade garden. In the sun border a plant that also takes part shade tops out at 88% health, and one that takes only shade loses 7 health a week and will not flower.
- Deadhead repeat and long bloomers while they are in flower for more bloom weeks and more bouquet stems.
