If you are on the hunt for a purple-leaved perennial, the Forever Purple coral bells deserve a spot at the top of your list of contenders. This heuchera is exceedingly adaptable. Whether in sun or shade, the foliage is an intense purple that does not fade. Short sprays of purple-pink flowers bloom from spring to summer and attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

These low-maintenance perennials are an excellent way to add enduring color to the landscape. These deer- and rabbit-resistant plants make great borders or be used in mass plantings as a groundcover. Coral bells like this one can also lend their blooms to cut flower arrangements. Their compact nature and ability to handle heat and sun also make them a solid choice for container plantings.

Forever Purple Coral Bells Care

The Forever Purple coral bells are exceptionally easy to care for. They prefer well-drained, fertile soil but tolerate poorer soils as long as there is not excessive moisture. During the first year following planting check soil around the plant once or twice weekly when the plant is growing and water if dry. Once established, they only require supplemental water during extended dry spells. A layer of mulch spread around the plant and a yearly application of an organic, slow-release fertilizer will keep the heuchera vigorous.

Heuchera like the Forever Purple have fairly simple pruning requirements. Cut off spent flower stalks to keep the plant looking tidy during the growing season. After a hard freeze when the foliage dies back, cut the plant back to just above ground level. In warm areas where foliage does not die back in winter, remove any winter-burned leaves in the spring.

Forever Purple Coral Bells Spacing

The Forever Purple coral bells have a mounding habit and grow quickly to reach a height of 12 inches tall and a spread of 18 to 24 inches. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart. If planting in a container, make sure any container has adequate drain holes.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
