Stunning Foliage Year-Round — Green Spice Coral Bells
If you're looking for a shade garden showstopper that earns its keep in every season, Green Spice Coral Bells (Heuchera americana 'Green Spice') delivers. This native Eastern North American perennial forms a tidy mound of broad, silver-overlaid green leaves edged in deep burgundy — veins that deepen to rich orange come fall. In late spring and early summer, delicate white bell-shaped flowers rise on airy spires, drawing in butterflies and adding a soft, ethereal touch. Low maintenance, deer-resistant, and safe for cats and dogs, it's a garden workhorse dressed in its finest.

Care & Maintenance
Low maintenance overall. Watch for powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spot in humid conditions. In areas with fluctuating winter temperatures, mulch around the base to prevent frost heaving. Will grow more slowly in heavy shade — part sun brings out the best foliage color.
Landscape Uses
Perfect for accents or mass plantings in borders, woodland gardens, naturalized areas, native gardens, rock gardens, and containers. An excellent ground cover for shady spots under trees or along north-facing foundations.
