I had no use for Palace Purple Heuchera before this year. Last winter I cut those I had back very sever. By late winter they were covered with tiny leaves. They not only came back as well mounded plants. They also came back with very large leaves and very thick stems. The leaf in this picture is laying on my deck. The board is a 1x6 or 5 1/2 inches wide. So you can see From the picture the leaf is over 6 inches wide and longer than that. there are some even larger and I am hoping to maintain them in top shape for the Leaf show at the Missouri State Fair. Everyone coming into the garden says they never seen a Palace Purple as big as a couple of these are. If it is all they say, I should capture a Blue Ribbon with one of these leaves.
