Heuchera 'Palace Purple' is a striking evergreen perennial renowned for its rich, deep bronze-purple foliage that adds year-round colour and contrast to shaded borders, woodland gardens and containers. One of the most popular and reliable Heuchera varieties, 'Palace Purple' was recognised with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) for its outstanding garden performance.

The large, maple-shaped leaves emerge in intense shades of deep purple-bronze, maintaining their bold colour throughout the seasons. In summer, delicate sprays of tiny creamy-white flowers rise above the foliage on slender stems, providing a subtle yet elegant display that attracts bees and other pollinators to the garden.

This versatile perennial thrives in partial shade, making it an ideal choice for those tricky shaded spots where many other plants struggle. It also works beautifully as ground cover, in mixed borders, or planted in groups for a dramatic carpet of colour.

Planting Tips:

Plant in a sheltered spot with partial to full shade for the best foliage colour. Ensure the soil is well-drained but retains some moisture, and enrich with organic matter at planting time. Avoid planting too deeply – the crown should sit at soil level. Mulch around the base in autumn to protect the shallow root system over winter. Divide clumps every three to four years to maintain vigour.
