Trying New Heucheras

One of my favorite colors in the garden is purple. I have grown heucheras before, mostly "Palace Purple", and was looking for something that was a more bright purple.

                                                                          'Palace Purple'

 

 

I picked up several new varieties to try but they still didn't seem vibrant enough

 

 

'Amethyst Mist'

 

 

 

'Encore'

 

Still not satisfied with the color so I decided to try a specialty nursery in town. Bingo!!

 

 

I love this one! It's 'Forever Purple'. It's not only brighter but also bigger than the others.

 

I paid $3-$4 for the others and this one cost $7 for a 4" pot. Well worth the price!! You get what you pay for I guess:) Looking forward to seeing it in the spring.
