{"product_id":"black-pearl-coral-bells-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Black Pearl Coral Bells - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Pearl brings true dark color to the garden, with glossy leaves so deep they read as black from a few steps away. The edges are tightly scalloped and ruffled, which flips up flashes of rosy purple from the leaf backs and gives the mound a rich, layered texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stays low, about 8 to 10 inches tall and up to 20 inches across, and holds its dark tone even in sun. Its villosa heritage helps it handle summer heat and humidity. In midsummer, slender stems carry small white flowers in pink cups. Use it for edging, containers, massed plantings or as a dark accent beside bright foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dense, low mound about 8 to 10 inches tall and 18 to 20 inches wide made of glossy, near-black rounded leaves roughly 4 inches across. Each leaf has heavily ruffled, scalloped margins that curl upward to show rosy purple undersides. The oldest leaves carry a faint silvery sheen over the black. In midsummer, thin dark stems rise to about 18 to 20 inches, holding airy sprays of tiny white bell-shaped flowers set in pink calyces. At peak the planting looks like a tight black cushion topped with a light pink-and-white haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts near-black ruffled leaves make a strong low edging in front of lavender in a bed with some afternoon shade, though it wants a little more summer water than lavender does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrows in full sun to full shade; afternoon shade helps in hot spots. Plant in average to fertile, well-drained soil with regular water, and avoid soggy winter sites to prevent crown rot; hardy in zones 4-9. Trim spent flower stems and any winter-worn leaves in early spring, and reset crowns that heave above the soil line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heuchera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White with pink calyces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy near-black with rosy purple undersides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, low mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 in tall × 18–20 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
