This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: fertile, moist or well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: June to August
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  The bright pink-purple leaves of this heuchera are large, and they form a dense, semi-evergreen mound, which will offer colour to both border edges and pots. Then, in summer, upright branching stems arise, bearing sprays of small pink bells. Larger and faster growing than many other heucheras, it's easy to grow and it makes colourful groundcover.
  
  
• Garden care: Heucheras do not like dry soil. Remove tatty foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.
