Heuchera sanguinea, called coral bells, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Heuchera, native to the US states of Arizona and New Mexico, and to northern Mexico.[2] A number of cultivars are commercially available.[3] The Latin specific epithet sanguinea means blood-red, in reference to the color of the flowers.[4] Flowers are deep pink to red, sweetly fragrant, and bell-shaped. Heuchera sanguinea is a perennial herb.[5] The plant attracts bees and hummingbirds.[4]
