Growing Non-GMO Purple Palace Heuchera Flower Seeds

Purple Palace heuchera seeds grow to be hardy perennials and are typically sown directly outdoors after the frost. For earliest starts, begin indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Heuchera seeds can be slow to sprout and will require 3-4 weeks in full light. Press 8-10 Purple Palace heuchera seeds into the soil without covering. Do not let the soil dry, as heuchera thrives in consistently moist and fertile conditions and will require a proportionate amount of water to the sunlight it receives. Plants will benefit from some shade in gardens with intense summers.

When transplanting seedlings indoors to outdoors, it is vital to gradually adjust them to their new conditions (harden off). Water regularly. The plant will produce a flower spike once or twice throughout the season, but it is most frequently clipped off and discarded to not distract from the beauty of the leaves. To overwinter, apply a thick layer of mulch above the roots each fall. Don’t worry about cutting them back, as their foliage will help to protect the crown and roots.

Heuchera do not always need fertilization, as they are relatively light feeders. However, in barren soils, light applications of quick-release fertilizers will undoubtedly encourage better leaf color. The best thing to do is to mix a healthy amount of well-rotted compost into the soil prior to planting them in the spring.

About Purple Palace Heuchera Garden Seeds

Purple Palace can be evergreen in warmer climates, but the leaves will die back when exposed to frosty temperatures.

Heuchera sanguinea, commonly known as Coral Bells, Alum Root, or Firefly, is native to the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to Northern California. Heuchera thrives along steep and rocky cliffs, slopes, and mountainsides. This cultivar is most popularly grown for its unique and hypnotic leaves rather than its wispy blooms.

The name ‘Heuchera’ is in reference to Johann Heinrich von Heucher who was a botanist, physician, and specialist in medicinal plants at Wittenberg University in Germany circa the early 1700s.

Heuchera is tolerant to deer as well as to drought and salt, once established.

Heuchera is not considered toxic to humans or animals as far as has been reported.

Tips From Our Gardeners
