Description
Forever Purple heuchera (coral bells) brings rich purple, ruffled foliage to shaded beds, borders, and mixed containers. Its color remains striking through much of the year in mild climates, while delicate pale flowers rise above the foliage in late summer to early fall. Expect a clump roughly 1–2 feet tall and wide, including flower stems.
In Alabama and the Southeast, plant in morning sun with afternoon shade or bright filtered shade. Rich, well-drained soil with organic matter is ideal. Water deeply when the upper soil begins to dry, but avoid soggy roots, especially during humid weather. Mulch lightly without covering the crown. Remove tired leaves as needed and divide established clumps every few years if they become crowded. Generally hardy in USDA Zones 4–9.
