Heuchera 'Palace Purple'
- Rely on the absolute classic, multi-award-winning shade hero, famous for its spectacular, highly glossy, deep mahogany-purple foliage.
- Heuchera 'Palace Purple' creates an incredibly dramatic, high-contrast backdrop that perfectly offsets the lighter greens and silvers of hostas and ferns.
- This heuchera throws up delicate, wiry stems of tiny, creamy-white bell flowers in summer, creating a brilliant, airy display above the dark leaves.
- It is phenomenally robust, fully hardy, and remarkably drought-tolerant once established, thriving in dry shade where other plants simply give up.
- Retaining its magnificent color throughout the winter, it is an indispensable, low-maintenance essential for adding year-round structure to the border.
