Shown first at Chelsea in 1983, this plant was raised and
selected from seed sent from America. It was the first heuchera
to become widely popular as a flowering foliage plant, starting
one of the major plant fashions of the last quarter century.
Plant Champion: Felicity Crabb, 26 from Christchurch Keen gardener Felicity runs a 'creative allotment' project in her local community. She thinks Heuchera villosa ‘Palace Purple’ is a plant for everyone because of its wonderful deep colours and hardy nature. She particularly likes the contrast its tiny white flowers make to its robust and dense leaves.
