Product description
Boasting dramatic purple-bronze leaves and a neat, compact growth habit, Heuchera Palace Purple is a fantastic choice for adding colour and texture to outdoor displays. Also known as Coral Bells, this evergreen perennial forms a tidy mound of attractive foliage, with delicate sprays of tiny salmon-pink flowers appearing on slender stems during summer. Supplied as 6 basket plants in a convenient carry pack, it is ideal for planting into hanging baskets, containers, or patio displays where its unusual leaf colour can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Heuchera Palace Purple is easy to grow and particularly well suited to areas with partial shade, where its rich foliage colour can really stand out. It prefers moist, well-drained compost and will establish well in baskets when cared for correctly. Water regularly while the plants are settling in, then water thoroughly during warm or dry periods whenever the compost begins to dry out. Removing any faded flower stems and older damaged leaves will help keep the plant looking neat and encourage fresh, healthy growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Once the delicate flower spikes have faded, remove them to help keep the basket display looking neat and tidy. Coral Bells are mainly grown for their colourful purple-bronze leaves, so removing spent flowers helps keep the focus on the attractive foliage.
How to Water
Water Heuchera regularly after planting to help the roots establish, keeping the compost lightly moist but not waterlogged. During warm or dry periods, check the compost more frequently and water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, as basket plants can lose moisture faster than those grown in the ground.
How to Plant
For a colourful basket display, use a good quality, moisture-retentive but free-draining compost and position Coral Bells plants evenly to allow their natural mounding habit to develop. Set each plant at the same depth it was growing in the carry tray, firm the compost gently around the roots, and water well after planting to help the plants settle in.
