Heuchera hybrid 'Forever Purple'

Common Name:
Coral Bells 'Forever Purple'

Description:
Heuchera hybrid 'Forever Purple' is a bold and eye-catching perennial, prized for its intensely coloured, glossy purple foliage that holds its vibrancy year-round. The ruffled leaves form a dense, mounding habit, creating strong contrast in garden beds, borders, and container plantings. In late spring through summer, slender stems rise above the foliage bearing delicate sprays of small, bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators. Well-suited to Melbourne’s conditions, 'Forever Purple' performs best in part shade but can tolerate full sun with adequate moisture. It prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil and benefits from protection against extreme heat. This low-maintenance plant is ideal for adding rich colour and texture to shaded areas, mixed plantings, and modern landscape designs.
