The detail
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.
