Heuchera ‘Forever Purple’ in 1 Gallon Pot

Description

Heuchera ‘Forever Purple’ is a standout perennial valued for its vibrant, glossy purple foliage that maintains its colour throughout the year. This compact, evergreen plant forms a tidy mound approximately 12 inches (30 cm) tall and spreads up to 22 inches (56 cm) wide. In summer, it produces short spikes of small, bell-shaped purple-pink flowers that rise about 15 inches (38 cm) above the foliage. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, ‘Forever Purple’ thrives in full sun to full shade, though in hotter climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorch. It prefers moist, well-drained soils and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. This cultivar is also known for its resistance to deer and rabbits, making it a suitable choice for gardens where these animals are prevalent. Additionally, it attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding dynamic life to the garden.​ ‘Forever Purple’ is an excellent choice for borders, containers, and groundcovers, offering year-round interest with minimal maintenance.
