Heuchera 'Silver Gumdrop' DOLCE® Series Proven Winners®

Silver Gumdrop Coral Bells, scientifically known as Heuchera ‘Silver Gumdrop’ DOLCE®, showcases stunning semi-glossy, iridescent silver foliage. Each leaf is delicately dusted with a metallic sheen, accented by dark veining and a rich purple underlay that matures into a soft rosy blush later in the season. Unlike most silver-leaved Coral Bells, which typically produce white or cream flowers, Silver Gumdrop is crowned with vibrant pink blooms, creating a striking contrast against its shimmering foliage.

A Proven Winners® cultivar from the DOLCE® series, Silver Gumdrop Coral Bells was selected for its vividly colored foliage that delivers season-long interest. This Heuchera villosa hybrid, also known as Silver Gumdrop Hairy Alumroot, offers improved tolerance to heat and humidity compared to other species, prefers shadier conditions, and features flowers that persist longer than those of many traditional Heucheras.

Heuchera ‘Silver Gumdrop’ DOLCE® is a compact, small-scale variety, with foliage reaching approximately 20 cm (8 in) in height and spreading 40 cm (16 in) wide, forming a neat, tidy clump. Slender, upright flower stems rise to 61 cm (24 in) and produce blooms that are irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies.

Thanks to its low mounding habit and refined appearance, Silver Gumdrop Heuchera is an excellent choice for container combinations, pathway edging, or the front of shaded garden borders. Thriving in partial to full shade, this vigorous grower benefits from division every 3–4 years to maintain optimal performance. Plant this silver coral bells in moist, well-drained soil, avoiding areas where snow accumulates in winter. Salt tolerant and deer resistant, Silver Gumdrop Heuchera is a low-maintenance, high-impact addition that brings sophisticated color and texture to any garden palette. Your garden will shimmer!
