(Daylily)

(13 user reviews)

Hardiness Zones:

This pale-yellow-flowered daylily distinguishes itself with its profuse bloom and compact size (only 16 inches tall), making it good for containers and the borders. It is an early season bloomer with circular flowers that open in late afternoon and last through the night.

Heuchera 'Crimson Curls'
('Crimson Curls' coral bells) Be the first to rate this plant

Hardiness Zones:

Though relatively pest-free, 'Crimson Curls' heuchera needs constant moisture to look its best. The white flowers contrast nicely with the ruby-colored foliage that deepens in direct sun, and the late-spring flowering repeats by late summer if deadheaded. Due to its constant-moisture requirement, don't grow 'Crimson Curls' in a pot. Use it massed along a walkway or in a woodland setting.
