Heuchera Purple Palace

HI - can anyone tell me if a young Heuchera P Palace is green or not - I have 3 - and 3 Campanulas, that look more purple than the Heuchera - maybe I labelled them wrongly The leaves look like a Heuchera but Im not convinced!

 

I think you may have got the labels switched. My young purple heuchera were purple from the start.

 

Yes, so were mine! I bought a new one the other day, variety 'Creme Brulee' It's the most beautiful creamy salmony colour. I love heucheras.

 

Thanks Fran - in that case I dont think I have any at all then :( Have added a pic incase you can shine any light on it

 

Marge, that's definately a Heuchera leaf, but not Purple Palace. Try this http://www.plantsbypost.co.uk/view.asp?key=2084

 

Oh well - any guesses as to which one it might be - only thinking of size cos I had them earmarked for the front of the border

 

It doesn't look like its going to grow large, so I would still put it in the front of the border. Very pretty leaf.

 

Hi Marge, I have some little heucheras and one of them has 'reverted' or something. You can see the original leaves, and the plain green growth from this year. The second one is the same variety, it's new growth is fine. Maybe this happened to yours, too?

 

Thats interesting Liz - mine were new plants from Thomson and Morgan - well, Ive planted them anyway so we'll see what comes up! :rolleyes:

 

mine are purple, I also have plum pudding and loads of other purple leaved hucheras, all come through purple.

as to T & M sometimes they substitute if they no longer have left in stock what you have ordered - check your invoice.

 

i like heuchera's myself, i have sown some purple palace,bressingham and green finch?, buyer was not able to identify, but said it looks like green finch. Also have a 2nd year strawberry candy one in my wee greenhouse. :D
