Heuchera micrantha 'Palace Purple'
Coral Bells
A garden staple, Heuchera micrantha 'Palace Purple' has clump-forming maple-like leaves which are an attractive deep purple above and beet red beneath. Foliage color may fade to a bronze green in hot summers. Tiny, pinkish white, bell-shaped flowers in open, airy panicles are borne on slender, wiry, dark red stems extending well above the mound of leaves in late spring to early summer.
Additional:
1991 Perennial Plant of the Year.
Coral Bells Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Performs best in light to part shade, though it does better in full sun than most of the dark-leaved Heucheras. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is needed and soil should not be allowed to dry out.
