Heuchera
Coral Bells
Maple-like leaves form a dense evergreen base for long slender stems lined with small, urn shaped flowers, ranging in color from white to pink to chartreuse. Heucheras are extremely durable, despite their delicate, even dainty appearance. Long-lived and occasionally drought tolerant, they are appropriate to virtually any garden situation.
A cherished British cultivar with timeless appeal, widely acclaimed ‘Palace Purple’ earned the 1991 Perennial Plant of the Year title for its posh, lustrous maple-style leaves and delicate-looking airy panicles. The large, long-petioled foliage emphasizes olive-green, vibrant bronzy purple and burgundy shades on top plus beet-red undersides, while lithe, 18 in. tall wine-colored stems lift the petite pinkish white bells, enthralling butterflies and gardeners alike. Celebrated as one of the first Heuchers to be hybridized from a purple-leafed native, this low-growing semievergreen perennial begs bright shade and superb drainage, looks ultra-luxe en masse and promises contrasting foliar tones for a border, rockery, pathway’s edge, woodland garden, container and even a bouquet.
