Heuchera ‘Plum Royale’
Fancy-leaf Coral Bells |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.266.330
This hybrid Coral Bells selection is a terrific choice for adding a touch of colour towards the front of a border in shady areas. The large ruffled and shiny leaves retain their rich purple colour for the entire growing season, taking on silver overtones in winter. Taller stems of small soft-pink bell flowers appear in early summer. Wonderful in the garden or in mixed containers. Trim off any withered or tired-looking leaves in spring. Should tolerate full sun in cool-summer regions like the Pacific Northwest. A 2009 introduction from Terra Nova Nurseries in Oregon. USPP#20935: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
