Palace Purple Coral Bell

Palace Purple Coral Bell is a classic purple-bronze foliage perennial valued for bold color, tidy clumps, and airy summer flowers. Its scalloped leaves bring season-long contrast to shade gardens, borders, containers, and woodland-style plantings.

Why choose Palace Purple Coral Bell?

Choose Palace Purple Coral Bell for reliable dark, polished foliage that looks beautiful long after many flowering perennials finish blooming. This Heuchera forms a compact mound, making it easy to layer along paths, tuck into mixed beds, or use as a colorful container accent. Slender flower stems rise above the foliage in summer with tiny white to pale pink bells, adding a graceful look and helpful nectar for pollinators.

Key Characteristics

Botanical Name: Heuchera ‘Palace Purple’
Common Name: Palace Purple Coral Bell
Plant Type: Herbaceous perennial
Growth Habit: Clump-forming, mounded perennial with upright flower stems

Palace Purple Coral Bell Additional Information

Palace Purple Coral Bell is grown primarily for its deep purple to bronze-purple leaves, which are rounded, lobed, and often show wine-toned undersides. In early to midsummer, slim stems carry small bell-shaped flowers that appear white to pale pink, creating a light, floating effect above the darker foliage. The flowers are subtle but add movement and seasonal interest while drawing bees and other pollinators.

This perennial is especially useful as an edging plant, shade garden accent, container filler, or colorful groundcover in small groupings. In mild winters it may hold some foliage, while in colder climates it can behave more like a semi-evergreen or herbaceous perennial, with fresh growth returning in spring. Remove tired foliage as needed, and divide mature clumps every few years to refresh vigor and maintain a neat shape.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant Palace Purple Coral Bell with the crown level with or slightly above the surrounding soil. Choose organically enriched, well-drained soil, and place it where it receives part shade or morning sun with afternoon protection.

2. Watering: Water regularly while the plant establishes, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, provide supplemental water during dry spells, especially in sunnier locations or containers.

3. Mulching: Apply a light layer of mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and help protect roots through seasonal temperature swings. Keep mulch away from the crown so the plant stays healthy.

4. Pruning: Trim away faded flower stems after bloom and remove damaged or tired leaves as needed. In early spring, clean up old foliage to make room for fresh new growth.
