Know before you buy
This cultivar is hardy down to USDA Zone 4, making it a reliable choice for regions with cold winters.
Yes, the silvery-gray leaves with beet-red veins become more vibrant in cooler temperatures. As autumn approaches, you can expect the foliage to transition into warmer orange and red tones.
Absolutely. Its compact 12-inch mounding habit makes it an excellent candidate for containers, either as a standalone feature or mixed with other shade-loving plants.
Since the plants reach a mature height of 12 inches, they are best spaced about 12 to 15 inches apart to allow for proper airflow while still achieving a full, carpeted look.
Like most coral bells, 'Green Spice' performs best in partial shade. Too much direct afternoon sun can scorch the foliage, while deep shade may result in less intense leaf coloration.
