Welcome to Grows on You.

London Pride, hmm... well it depends which plant, because London Pride is a common name for more than one plant. I'm a Londoner born and bred, and we always called Heuchera 'Coral Bells' (has green leaves and bright red flowers) London Pride, but in most other areas, London Pride means Saxifraga urbium, which has scalloped, rounded leaves and tiny white insignificant flowers. Suggest you google both names to see which plant it is you're after...

There's an image of Heuchera Coral Bells in this link below

Hi Sweetpearose, welcome to GoY. I'm from N.Lincs, and I always think of the Saxifrage when someone mentions London Pride, so am not sure which Heuchera you mean. But I'm sure you can still get plenty of nice Heucheras with Deep Red flowers. My favourite one is called 'Firefly'. It is compact and the flowers are very pretty. Have a look on www.plantagogo.com website and you're sure to find what you're looking for :)
