Heuchera americana, commonly called coral bells or alumroot, is a perennial native to eastern and central North America. This plant has heart-shaped leaves that emerge as purplish-brown and turn uniform green, as well as tiny greenish-white bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. This plant can be massed to form a nice groundcover. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is crucial.
