Monrovia Balboa Sunset Heuchera
Best low-maintenance perennial for adding vibrant, year-round color to garden borders.
This coral bells variety is the ultimate cheat code for adding year-round warmth to shady corners. While it lacks the dramatic height of larger shrubs, its ruffled, sunset-hued foliage provides a consistent, low-maintenance pop of color that keeps your garden looking curated even when nothing else is in bloom.
