Heuchera Raspberry Ice

Raspberry Ice Coral Bells

Heuchera ‘Raspberry Ice’ is a colorful foliage perennial valued for its shimmering silver leaves highlighted with raspberry-red veining. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage that emerges silvery with pronounced red veins and subtle purple undertones, maintaining strong contrast through the growing season. In late spring to early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying airy clusters of small creamy-white to pale pink flowers, adding a light accent while the distinctive foliage remains the primary ornamental feature.
