Brighten shady garden spaces with the stunning foliage of Heuchera 'Green Spice', an award-winning Coral Bells variety prized for its unique silver-green leaves highlighted by dramatic purple veining and dark gray margins. This compact, mounding perennial provides season-long color and texture, making it an outstanding choice for woodland gardens, borders, containers, and mixed perennial beds.

In late spring through summer, delicate white flower spikes rise above the colorful foliage, attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds while adding graceful movement to the landscape.
