Spice up a dry shady garden with some Green Spice Coral Bells. The foliage of the heuchera is outstanding and can blend into many garden color schemes. Peach, pink and green appear on the new foliage and mature to a silvery green with dark veins and edges. While the foliage is definitely Green Spice's best attribute, it also attracts pollinators like crazy when it is in bloom early in the summer. This perennial tends to stay evergreen in the warmer hardiness zones and will die back to the ground in the colder zones.
Green Spice Coral Bells can be tucked into the front of the garden bed, grown on its own in a pot or be used in a mixed seasonal container as a show stopping filler element. Coral Bells can be found in a huge range of colors now. Planting 3 or 5 varieties together can really make a modern and bold statement. The leaf shapes contrast well in a garden filled with other shade lovers such as Astilbe, Fern and Hellebore.
Green Spice Coral Bells Care
Green Spice Coral Bells can be planted in full shade or partly sunny locations. A well drained, moist soil is needed to keep the foliage perky. Average to very fertile soil will help to keep the colors popping. Fertilizing with a slow release, well balanced food in the early spring is recommended. Mulching with organic compost of leaves in the fall will help to protect the root crown from harsh winter weather. Mulching also helps to improve the solid moisture holding capacity over time.
Cutting back of Coral Bells is best done after the first hard freeze of the fall. If the foliage is looking a little worn in the summer (due to a hot or dry spell), a cutting back will help Coral Bells to produce fresh foliage and possibly blooms for the early fall. Extra irrigation will be needed during extremely hot weather or if growing this perennial in a container. Soaker hoses or drip irrigation systems are the most efficient way to water garden plantings.
Green Spice Coral Bells Spacing
Coral Bells look best when planted in large, naturalistic groups. They can be used as border edging plants or as soil stabilizing plants in a sloped area. Spacing each of the plants at 16 inch on center provides for a fast fill in of growth the first couple of years.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
