Heuchera Snow Angel
Coral Bells 'snow Angel'
Heuchera ‘Snow Angel’ is a distinctive foliage perennial valued for its heavily variegated leaves splashed with creamy white and green. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage where the green leaves are irregularly mottled and marbled with white, creating a bright, almost painted appearance that stands out in shade gardens. In late spring to early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying airy clusters of small creamy-white flowers that add light movement without distracting from the striking foliage.
