With Heuchera ‘Green Spice’, the flowerbed welcomes a plant whose flowers feature white tones. The foliage displays shades of silver, green, and red, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is in June. At maturity, expect 25 cm in height and 40 cm in width, which guides its use in a shaded border. The leaf margins contribute to the contrast and deserve a visible spot from the pathway.
The success of Heuchera ‘Green Spice’ begins with its location: partial shade to shade, in suitable soil (humus-rich, retaining its freshness during growth, without stagnant water around the crown). For Heuchera ‘Green Spice’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (partial shade to shade) does not eliminate the need for water. A margin corresponding to its 40 cm spread avoids having to move the clump in the first seasons. The indicated hardiness zone is 4, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
Over the seasons, Heuchera ‘Green Spice’ benefits from timely care: remove damaged leaves without burying the heart and protect the foliage from scorching sun if the soil dries quickly. Freezing and thawing can lift the heuchera's crown; check in spring that the roots remain well in contact with the soil. For pairings, consider astilbes, hostas, and lungworts in varieties with similar needs. Keep its 25 cm height in mind to place lower plants on the right side and allow the flowers to be visible during June.
