Green Spice Coral Bells

Heuchera americana 'Green Spice'

Green Spice Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous  perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The broad-lobed green leaves with silver overlay and darker edges earn burgundy veins in cool weather before turning orange for fall.  Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring to early summer attracting  butterflies.  Best bloom in  partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings,  Borders,  Woodland Gardens,  Naturalized Areas,  Native Gardens,  Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:    Lenten Rose,  Hosta,  Painted Fern
