Perennial | Heuchera micrantha "Palace Purple" (Coral Bells)

Plant Info

Heuchera micrantha 'Palace Purple', commonly known as Coral Bells, is a popular perennial grown for its rich bronze foliage, which provides colour from spring through fall. This species produces airy spikes of small, creamy-white flowers in early to midsummer that attract bees and other pollinators. Its colourful leaves form neat, low growing mounds, making it an excellent choice for borders, woodland gardens, and containers. 'Palace Purple' is valued for its versatility and performs well in a variety of light conditions, especially when planted in well-drained soil. The attractive evergreen to semi-evergreen foliage provides year-round interest in milder climates.

Culture

This plant is grown in a soiless media in a 2L pot. The coco liner on top of the soil reduces moisture loss and prevents the growth of weeds within the pot. It is 100% organic coconut fiber and has no synthetic materials. When planting, you can keep the liner below the plant and it will break down and enhance the soil over time. Please do not bury the liner in the soil or under mulch. Only apply mulch up to the soil liner.
