Description
If you’re trying to make a border feel more “designed”, Heuchera ‘Palace Purple’ is an easy win. The leaves are a deep, velvety purple that sits beautifully beside fresh greens, silvers, and soft pinks — and it’s especially effective at the front of a border where you can enjoy the colour up close.
In summer, it also sends up delicate stems of tiny flowers, but the real magic is the foliage: it gives you structure and contrast even when nothing else is in bloom.
Where to plant
- At the front of borders as a rich, dark edging plant
- In mixed pots to add depth and contrast (especially with pale flowers)
- Under shrubs and roses as a low, colourful underplanting
- In part-shade where many flowering plants struggle
Care & planting notes
- Watering: Keep evenly moist while establishing; don’t let pots dry out completely
- Soil: Improve heavy soil with compost for better drainage
- Tidy-up: Remove tired leaves in spring to refresh the clump
- Mulch: A light mulch helps protect the crown and keep moisture steady
- Top tip: If the plant “lifts” over time, simply re-firm the crown and add a little compost around it
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
Heucheras are the secret to making planting look intentional. Use ‘Palace Purple’ as your “thread” — repeat it in a few places through a border, or pop one into every pot arrangement. That repetition is what makes a garden feel cohesive (even when the flowers change week to week).
