Richardson Roots Heuchera Coral Bells

Yes, this variety is evergreen, meaning it maintains its deep, near-black glossy foliage throughout the year. It provides consistent color and structure even when other garden plants go dormant.

Heuchera 'Obsidian' is quite versatile and thrives in both partial shade and full sun. In hotter climates, however, providing some afternoon shade will help prevent the leaves from scorching and keep the plant looking its best.

Since this variety reaches a mature spread of 1 to 2 feet, you should space them about 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows enough room for the mounding habit to develop fully without overcrowding.

Yes, Heuchera 'Obsidian' is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, deer generally avoid this variety due to the texture and taste of the foliage.

You don't need to prune the foliage, but you can remove the slender flower stems once they fade in early summer. This keeps the plant looking tidy and encourages it to focus energy on maintaining its lush, dark leaves.

Absolutely. Its compact, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for containers, window boxes, or hanging baskets. Just ensure your pot has good drainage, as these plants prefer moist but well-drained soil.
