Description
If you want something a little different, choose Heuchera 'Cappuccino', with its lovely ruffled, glossy leaves of chocolate-brown, each with a hint of bronze-purple. The undersides of the leaves are a rich, clear purple, giving a beautiful two-tone effect. It is one of the darkest forms available. The leaves are semi-evergreen to evergreen, so they even offer some much-needed interest to the garden in winter. And if this is not enough, sprays of pretty cream-white bell-shaped flowers (coral bells) appear on slender spikes in early summer!
Excellent in the border, for edging, or in tubs and mixed containers, Heuchera 'Cappuccino' is more sun-tolerant than many of the older varieties. As a dense-growing perennial, it comes back to provide rich, sumptuous colour year-after-year. H. 'Cappuccino' was bred 25 years ago in America, by the world’s leading Heuchera breeder, Dan Heims—and he ranks it as one of the best.

Useful information
-
Soak the Heuchera 'Cappuccino' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Coral bells" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
