Heuchera micrantha ‘Palace Purple’

 

Many heuchera have come and gone but ‘Palace Purple’ remains relevant and useful after all these years. This is the plant that sparked the revolution in coral bells, the cultivar that was there at the beginning of it all. Tidy mounds of purple-bronze foliage can turn to copper in full sun. Leaves on mature plants can be nicely ruffled and puckered. Perfect in the border and also long-lived in containers. Selected by the Perennial Plant Association as Perennial Plant of the Year 1991.
