Heuchera 'Obsidian' (Coral Bells) is a popular, low-maintenance herbaceous perennial celebrated for its intense, glossy, dark burgundy-to-black foliage that remains deep in color all season. It forms a compact mound about 12 inches tall and 16 inches wide, with creamy white flowers on 24-inch scapes in early summer. 

Key Characteristics and Care:

  • Foliage: Deep purple/black, glossy, rounded, and crinkled leaves.
  • Flowers: Dainty spikes of creamy white flowers in late spring/early summer.
  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; color is best with some morning sun but needs protection from harsh afternoon heat.
  • Water/Soil: Requires moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
  • Hardiness: Zones 4-9.
  • Usage: Excellent for borders, mass planting, rock gardens, and container "thriller" plants.
  • Wildlife: Attracts hummingbirds and pollinators. 

     

Obsidian is notably deer-resistant and provides dramatic, dark contrast to lighter-colored garden plants. It is generally low-maintenance but should be cut back in late fall.
