Black Forest Cake Coral Bells

A plant as decadent as its name, ‘Black Forest Cake’ Heuchera layers dark, nearly black foliage with a burst of bright cherry-red flowers that rise above like a finishing touch of whipped cream and cherries. This compact, evergreen perennial forms a dense mound of smooth, deep purple-black leaves, adding rich contrast to borders, shade gardens, and containers. From late spring into summer, its airy, vibrant blooms draw in hummingbirds and pollinators, making it as lively as it is dramatic. With year-round interest, low maintenance, and high impact, ‘Black Forest Cake’ is a treat for any garden craving depth and color.
