‘Autumn Bride’ alumroot in winterPlanting notes. The clumps of hairy alumroot expand over time but do not spread out by rhizomes or stolons. After three to five years, the plants may need to be taken up in the spring and replanted more deeply in the soil, as they tend to grow out of the soil over time. Adding a layer of compost or organic mulch annually can help keep them well-buried. Top-dressing with compost in the spring will feed the plants and help to keep the crown (caudex) covered and well-rooted. You can get more plants by carefully dividing clumps in early spring — make sure that each piece you replant has some roots already formed. You can also get more plants by allowing them to reseed. Heucheras are not self-fertile, so you will need two genetically different individuals (two wild-type plants or two cultivars) to get viable seed. This cross-pollination leads to some interesting offspring. New plants can also be started by sowing seeds indoors under lights. Sow the seeds on the surface of a moist starting mix after they have been given a month of cold, moist stratification (seeds need light to germinate).
Perennials. In areas beneath the oak canopy that receive full shade to partial shade, plant Bergenia (Bergenia crassifolia, zones 2 to 9), bear’s breech (Acanthus mollis, zones 7 to 11) and cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior, zones 7 to 11). ‘Autumn Bride’ coral bells (Heuchera villosa ‘Autumn Bride’, zones 4 to 9), shown here, grow in clumps with attractive ruffled foliage and white to pale pink flowers in early spring.
Coral Bell (Heuchera macrorhiza) Semievergreen coral bells make tough ground covers. This is the cultivar 'Autumn Bride', which blooms late and then turns color around bulb-planting time. In my garden it makes a great companion with purple ninebark (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Diablo').USDA zones: 3 to 9Water requirement: AverageLight requirement: Full sun to partial shadeMature size: 'Autumn Bride' grows to 12 inches tall.Planting tips: Adaptable to different soil types. Grow coral bells as a versatile ground cover around taller shrubs for year-round interest.

There is a wide range of colors with coral bells. I would add this to the shade garden in the back left corner.
