How to grow Heuchera 'Palace Purple' in NZ

Heuchera 'Palace Purple' grows best in a position with morning sun or partial shade and moist, free draining soil enriched with organic matter. Prepare the soil before planting with compost to improve fertility and drainage. Water regularly while the plant is establishing and maintain even moisture during dry periods. Avoid waterlogged sites, as excessive moisture can affect root health. A sheltered position helps preserve the rich foliage colour and encourages strong, healthy growth throughout the year.

Heuchera 'Palace Purple' care tips

Heuchera 'Palace Purple' is easy to maintain and requires only simple care. Remove old or damaged leaves as required to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage fresh growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring to support healthy foliage development and flowering. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly for plants growing in containers. Mulching around the base helps conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Dividing mature clumps every few years helps maintain vigour and keeps plants performing at their best.
