Heuchera Frosted Violet

Frosted Violet Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Frosted Violet’ is a striking foliage perennial valued for its shimmering violet-purple leaves with a silvery overlay. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges deep violet with a frosted metallic sheen, often highlighted by darker veining. The foliage maintains strong color throughout the growing season and can intensify in cooler weather. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding a light accent while the colorful leaves remain the focal point.
