Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice'

Deep green foliage veiled in silver and veined in dark purple sets Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice' apart in the garden. Sprays of small, bright pink flowers that attract hummingbirds crown this mounding plant and add sparkling contrast in late spring and early summer. Come autumn, the leaves take on reddish tones, finishing a long-season color show.

Heuchera, often referred to as Coral Bells or Alumroot, offers a dazzling array of foliage and flower options. Native to North America, these perennials flourish across USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9, boasting over 70 species that contribute longevity and vibrant color to the garden year-round. Heucheras are celebrated for their ornamental leaves in shades from silver to deep burgundy and sprays of delicate bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early summer. They thrive in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, most preferring partial shade to shield their colorful leaves from sun-scorch. Remarkably versatile, Heucheras are not invasive and stand up well to deer and pests and are also favored for their ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making them a delightful addition to any border or woodland garden.
