5 Seeds Heuchera micrantha Palace Purple Coral Bells Purple Foliage Perennial Shade Plant

Heuchera micrantha Palace Purple, commonly known as coral bells, is a clump-forming perennial grown for its distinctive deep purple to bronze-tinged foliage that holds color through the season. The rounded, lobed leaves form tidy low mounds, and slender airy stems of tiny pale flowers rise above the foliage in late spring and summer, adding a soft texture to borders and containers.
This is a versatile choice for shade and part-shade gardens, where the dark foliage contrasts well with ferns, hostas, and silver-leaved companions. It works in woodland plantings, mixed borders, and patio pots, and the low mounding habit makes it useful along path edges and at the front of beds.
