Description
- This stunning heuchera boasts intense plum-purple foliage, deepening to darker metallic shades over summer, with dainty sprays of snow-white blooms emerging from late spring into early summer.
- Compact and fully hardy, this perennial is a perfect option for spots with dappled shade and woodland garden schemes, whilst also being a great foliage plant to add to the patio.
- Also called coral bells, heucheras like this one are known for their distinctive, scalloped leaves, which add immense visual texture wherever they’re found. We’d particularly recommend planting ‘Wildberry’ alongside a lime green variety for maximum contrast.
- In terms of planting partners from other species, we’d opt for other shade-loving customers like hostas, ferns and astilbes.
- Did you know? Heucheras were traditionally used by indigenous American populations, like the Cherokee and Lumbee, for various medicinal purposes.

How to grow
Good pest and disease resistance
The one issue that Heuchera suffer from is Heuchera rust. This disease shows in the form of small brown spots on the leaves, with orange pustules on the undersides. Rust thrives in humid and crowded conditions, so make sure your plants are well spaced and water them at the base (morning is best, so the water has tim eto dry out) If your plants develop rust, prune out the affected leaves and dispose of them (not in the compost).
Water regularly in summer
Water to keep the ground consistently moist during the summer months. During hot and prolonged dry periods this could require water every few days, especially when the plant is young and still establishing itself. Adding a mulch over the surface layer of soil will help to keep the soil more moist. It is also important that the ground does not become waterlogged. This will be a greater issue in the winter.
Full sun to partial shade
Heuchera do well in sunny areas but also thrive in parts of the garden with a little shade, for example under trees or shrubs
Any average well-drained soil
Plant in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly poor or clay heavy, add some garden compost with perlite to improve drainage.
Feed lightly
Feed with a slow-release general fertiliser, or blood, fish and bone meal in spring. ?v=1613300718

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
