One of the most widely planted variety of Coral Bells, award-winning Heuchera micrantha 'Palace Purple' features very large, lustrous, star-shaped leaves, ranging in color from deep olive green to purplish-bronze to brilliant deep purple. Their undersides are a striking metallic amethyst purple. In late spring to midsummer, panicles of small, bell-shaped, creamy-white flowers bloom on slender, dark red stems rising up to 20 in. (50 cm), well above the evergreen foliage. A great addition to the rock garden, perennial border, as edging along paths or in containers.

• 1991 Perennial Plant Association Plant of the Year.
• This clump-forming perennial forms basal mounds, up to 8-12 in. tall (20-30 cm) with a spread of 16 in. (40 cm). This sturdy performer is not only easy to grow, but also requires little maintenance and is pest and disease free!
• Performs best in part shade, in rich, humusy, medium moisture, well-drained soils. If grown in full sun, make sure the soil remains consistently moist or the foliage might decline. Thrives in dry shade, once established.
• It is attractive to butterflies and often ignored by deer.
• A spectacular addition to beds, borders, rock gardens, woodland gardens and is ideal as a groundcover, edger along paths or in containers. Fabulous when planted in groups!
• Divide clumps in spring every 3-4 years.
• Remove stems of faded flowers to promote additional bloom. Apply winter mulch after the ground freezes to help prevent root heaving.
