Heuchera 'Frosted Violet'

Frosted Violet Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Frosted Violet' produces airy sprays of small, creamy pink flowers in late spring to early summer, rising above the foliage on slender stems. Rounded, deeply lobed leaves are rich violet-purple with a silvery overlay that gives the surface a softly frosted appearance that remains attractive through much of the year. The foliage develops deeper tones during cooler weather, adding texture and subtle color changes throughout the seasons.
