About the Coral Bells -
Palace Purple :
The Heuchera ‘Palace Purple’, Heuchera micrantha,
also known as Alumroot or Coral Bell, is one of the
most popular Coral Bells on the market. Being named
Perennial of the Year in 1991, one can see why. With
its unique deep purple foliage, fading to bronzy
green in hot summers and its dark red stems, makes
it a little different than the rest. In the
springtime, small pinkish and white flowers appear
that last into the summer, however, Coral Bells are
not known for their flowers, but their foliage.
Palace Purple has a plant spread of 10-15” and a
height of 12-18”.
It is best to grow ‘Palace Purple’ in medium wet,
well-drained soils, in full shade. (It can tolerate
some morning sun.) ‘Palace Purples’ looks especially
good around the edge of borders, near variegated
plants, woodland edges, rock gardens, perennial
borders, or in mass to form an attractive ground
cover.
