Heuchera 'Green Spice'
coral bells
Silver-green foliage with deep-plum coloured markings around the veins form pretty, semi-evergreen mounds from which the wiry, branching stems appear bearing small white flowers.
Heuchera 'Green Spice' looks gorgeous planted in groups at the front of a mixed border, or pot it up and place it where its showy foliage can best be admired.

How to care for Heuchera Green Spice:
Plant 30-45cm (12-18in) apart in moderately fertile, moist, but well-drained soil, incorporating compost to improve drainage and fertility. Keep well watered and remove tatty foliage in autumn.
Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and re-plant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in spring.
