Heuchera 'Green Spice'

Green Spice Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Green Spice' produces airy sprays of small, creamy white flowers in late spring to early summer, held above the foliage on slender stems and attracting bees and other pollinators. Rounded, deeply lobed leaves are silvery green with prominent burgundy veining and rosy-purple highlights that intensify during cooler weather, forming a colorful mound with a softly textured surface. The foliage remains attractive through much of the year, providing layers of color and interest beyond the flowering season.

Design tip

Use broad sweeps of this silver-veined foliage to weave cool tones through shaded borders and woodland plantings. Contrast the luminous leaves with darker evergreen forms and varied textures to create layered compositions that remain fresh, balanced, and visually engaging throughout the seasons.
