Like the rest of the series, its real selling point is that it comes back. Coral bells have a reputation for heaving out of the ground over a New Hampshire winter, and this breeding line is the fix for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeuchera 'Northern Exposure Silver'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNorthern Exposure Silver Coral Bells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13-17 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16-20 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardiness Zones\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4a-9b\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpacing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSun\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Sun to Shade; best with some afternoon shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMoisture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAverage to moist, well drained\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDense, rounded, mounding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustomers Usually Ask\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sun can it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than the Amber or Lime.
