Heuchera ‘Forever Purple’ – 2 litre pot

Heuchera ‘Forever Purple’ is a stunning herbaceous perennial that boasts glossy, lobed leaves that are deep purple with a touch of pink in colour and remain that way throughout the year. The compact growth habit of this plant makes it a great choice for smaller garden spaces or as an accent in larger garden designs. In the summer, ‘Forever Purple’ produces delicate white flowers that are held on very short spikes. This variety of Heuchera is particularly attractive when planted in groups or as a border plant.

Care instructions:
– For best results, plant pot-grown Heucheras in the spring when the soil is no longer frozen. Heucheras prefer partial shade to full shade exposure.
– Keeping the plants in a container is possible, use large and deep containers to prevent root freezing during winter. Ensure the containers have drainage holes in the bottom, as planting in small containers can lead to root-bound plants. To keep the plants looking fresh, divide the clumps every 2 to 3 years and replant.
– Adequate watering is essential after planting, and the soil should be kept consistently moist to ensure the plant establishes well. After 6 months, reduce the amount you water the plants as they don’t like to sit in water.
– In spring and hot summer days, water early morning or late evening. If the foliage is wet and the plants are in full sun during the hottest time of day, the foliage will scorch (burn) which can lead to stunted growth.
– To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flowers by cutting the stem to a strong leaf without leaving it sticking out of the foliage.
– In the spring, remove the dead and damaged leaves from the foliage.

Our heucheras are tissue culture raised and free of rust infection. Our nurseries have strict hygiene and disease protocols that keep our growing areas and crops rust-free. To avoid cross-infection in the garden please do not plant close to Hollyhocks, raspberries and blackberries.
Treatment – Remove infected foliage immediately, sterilise cutters after trimming and dispose of removed foliage. Don’t use it for compost or mulch or will spread next season.
Vine weevil – Adults are most active between August- September. Most effective protection is achieved by regular use of nematodes in those months. Nematodes are safe for the environment and are readily available to buy.
