Heuchera Forever Purple

Heuchera Forever Purple

Heuchera Forever Purple lives up to its name with intensely vivid, glossy purple foliage that keeps its color all season long. The ruffled, semi-evergreen leaves have deep plum undersides and a metallic sheen that stands out in borders, containers, and shaded garden beds. In late spring to early summer, short flower spikes emerge, bearing small pinkish-purple blooms that rise gracefully above the foliage, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators.

This standout coral bells variety is known for its exceptional vigor and compact, mounding habit. It maintains its rich purple tone even through the heat of summer, unlike many other varieties that fade or green out. The strong foliage provides excellent contrast when paired with hostas, ferns, or ornamental grasses, and it adds lasting texture to shaded landscapes or mixed planters.

Heuchera Forever Purple is both beautiful and resilient. It performs well in sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. It’s easy to grow, deer-resistant, and tolerant of a range of conditions, making it an ideal choice for adding dependable, all-season color to the garden.
