Description
Heuchera ‘Mulberry’ is a gorgeous, richly coloured heuchera with deep plum-purple foliage and bright rosy flower spikes that bring a little extra drama in early summer. The leaves form a neat, generous mound that holds its colour for months, making it brilliant for long-season impact. It’s a lovely choice for pots and borders where you want depth, contrast, and a touch of jewel-toned colour.
Caragh Garden Notebook
Planting:
Plant in spring or autumn into well-prepared soil, or pot into a quality peat-free compost with good drainage. Keep the crown at soil level — don’t bury it too deeply. Water well to settle in.

Watering:
Water regularly in the first season and during dry spells, especially in containers. Consistent moisture keeps foliage lush and supports strong flowering.

Feeding:
A spring mulch and a light feed (or slow-release feed in pots) is usually plenty. Refresh the compost surface in containers each spring for a quick boost.

Design Notes:
‘Mulberry’ is stunning with lime foliage, silvers, pale pinks, whites, and ornamental grasses. Use it to add depth at the front of borders, to echo darker tones elsewhere in the garden, or to give containers a richer, more “designed” look.
