Green Spice Coral Bells

Heuchera 'Green Spice'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: A clump-forming perennial with colorful foliage. The leaves have a gray-green center, purple veins and edges outlined with green. The leaves are semi-evergreen and are the best feature of this plant. Panicles of white flowers bloom in early-summer but aren't particularly showy.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
Special Considerations: Heucheras may respond better to having the dead foliage pulled out rather than cut back.
