Heuchera FOREVER® ‘Purple’

We tried so hard to name this something else, but we all came back to the name FOREVER® 'Purple' for a very simple reason. It is forever purple! FOREVER® 'Purple' is a knockout with ultra-purple glossy leaves with fluted edges and great vigor. Very short spikes of purple-pink flowers in summer and four seasons of purple. A real show stopper. Destined to become the new standard for purple foliage perennials.
