Standing out with its rich, shiny, undulating, unique russet to amber foliage, with hot pink undersides, Heuchera 'Marmalade' (Coral Bells) is showy in all seasons. Vigorous, it stands up to inclement weather and makes a great landscape choice for any sunny or shady corners of the garden. In late spring - early summer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, reddish-brown flowers bloom on slender stems rising up to 16 in. (40 cm) above the semi-evergreen foliage. This Heuchera is prized by gardeners for its drought, heat and humidity tolerance.

Want a long-blooming, low-growing easy-to-grow, winter-hardy perennial? Look no further than Soapwort, Saponaria x lempergii 'Max Frei'. You may already be familiar with the spring-blooming Rock Soapwort (Saponaria ocymoides). I grew it years ago and loved its warm, pink flowers. But, as things go, I got rid of it. I don't remember exactly why. Saponaria ocymoides Back in 2013, while perusing Digging Dog Nursery's website I found 'Max Frei.' I liked that it was a summer bloomer instead of spring and I knew exactly where I wanted to grow it. I have it cascading over a small rock wall, with a similarly colored hardy Fuchsia called 'Pink Rain' nearby. The most challenging thing about this plant is trying to get my camera to capture the right color of the flowers. They're a more on the cool side. 'Max Frei' starts blooming in early July and goes until late summer. It doesn't need deadheading. It just blooms and blooms. When it's finally finished, I just cut the whole plant back. Missouri Botanical Garden's website lists 'Max Frei' as being hardy in Zones 3-7 but I'm in Zone 8b and it does fine for me. I have it planted in morning sun and afternoon shade and I supply it with regular water. Are you growing this sweet plant?
