Leaves Without Flowers

 I came across these pretty leaves outside in front of a garden center. Who needs blooms and petals with leaves like these?


This one even has purple stems!







I prefer leaves without flowers to flowers without leaves…

PS~ Had to look it up! They're called Heuchara or more commonly known as "coral bells". OK, now I can sleep tonight. :-D

Heuchara, or coral bells are a beautiful addition to a perennial garden. They do have a pretty little flower but the leaves are what most people plant them for. They compliment many other flowering perennials.

I too was going to say coral bells. They put out thin stems with flowers on them.

We have several varieties of these - Heuchera or Coral Bells. I love the year round color!
