Heuchera Forever Purple = 'Tnheufp' Forever Series

Common name: Coral Bells Forever Purple

Description: This striking evergreen perennial is grown primarily for its stunning deep purple to near-black foliage that maintains its intense colouration throughout the year. The rounded, slightly ruffled leaves form neat, compact mounds that provide excellent colour contrast in borders and containers. In late spring to early summer, delicate sprays of small white flowers emerge on slender stems above the foliage, creating an elegant display. 'Forever Purple' is particularly valued for its reliable performance and consistent leaf colour that doesn't fade in summer heat. The metallic sheen on the leaves catches the light beautifully, adding depth and interest to the planting.
