Heuchera 'Amethyst Mist'

Amethyst Mist Coralbells

Heuchera ‘Amethyst Mist’ is a striking foliage perennial valued for its silvery-purple leaves and fine veining. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded leaves washed in silver with deeper amethyst-purple veins that intensify in cooler weather. In late spring to early summer, airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers rise above the foliage, adding delicate contrast without detracting from the leaf color. Its shimmering tones brighten shaded garden spaces.
