Check out one of the most eye-catching Coral Bells available: the Forever® Purple Coral Bells (Heuchera ‘TNHEUFP’) was selected for its great vigor. The multi-crown plant has the most excellent, deep glossy purple leaves all year long, every year.
The clump-forming purple evergreen to deciduous plant grows in a mounded form that holds its color steadfast through heat and sun. In the summer, small purplish, pink-white, bell-shaped blooms rise just a few inches above the brilliant, ruffled foliage on their long slender stems.
Butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators love the blooms. Deer and rabbits typically leave the plant alone, in favor of other plant types. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 to 9, these Coral Bells grow 12-15 inches in height when in bloom, and spreads to a leafy mound 18-24 inches wide.
Planting and Application:
The Forever® Purple Corals Bells can be used in many applications! As edging, in Rock Garden, mixed borders, and as nice facer plants at the front of any border. Add some shock effect in the shade, as groupings and rows throughout shaded gardens, perennial borders, and along pathways and your driveway with major curb appeal!
These space-saving perennials are as perfect and low-maintenance for mass plantings, as they are for container gardens alike! You’ll call pollinators galore, hummingbirds, and you’ll enjoy having the dainty blooms in cut flower bouquets and vibrant foliage in floral arrangements.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
The Forever® Purple is easy to grow and happy almost anywhere, throughout most growing zones in the US, in full sun or full shade. It is drought tolerant once established and prefers well-drained soil, and does best with regular moisture in the heat of the summer. Being a herbaceous Perennial, Heuchera dies back to the ground in cold winters, though in warmer zones, can remain semi-fully evergreen year-round! Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around the base of your plant. It can be evergreen in the warmer climates, and in colder regions simply pick or snip off any dry or brown leaves in early spring, to allow fresh new foliage to develop. Other than that, Heuchera are low-maintenance!
