Heuchera NORTHERN EXPOSURE 'Purple'

NORTHERN EXPOSURE™ ‘Purple’ is a compact coral bells selection with rounded purple-to-silver leaves and pink flower spikes that extend from late spring into summer. Terra Nova lists it for USDA Zones 3–10, with foliage about 12 inches tall by 20 inches wide and taller flowering stems; see the [cultivar profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/heuchera-northern-exposure-purple/) for its full size and seasonal details. ## Landscape Use Use the foliage as a steady color block in a mixed border or mass planting, or place the mound in a container where its silver overlay can be seen up close. Full sun, part shade, and full shade are listed, so site it with enough light to support flowering while avoiding dry, reflective heat. ## Growing Conditions Provide moderately well-drained soil with organic matter and keep the crown uncovered. Water during establishment and hot spells, then let the soil drain between waterings; coral bells perform poorly in persistently wet winter soil. ## Maintenance Remove damaged leaves and old flower stems when they detract from the mound. In early spring, trim tattered foliage to make room for fresh growth.
