Heuchera 'Encore is not a purple heuchera or a caramel colored one. It's a lovely mixture of both. It has large lobed leaves that you can combine with cool or warm colors and both will combine well. A very hardy and vigorous grower. Flowers are not much to look at. I usualy pluck em!

Upper left is Acanthus 'Tasmanian Angel'. New this year from Terra Nova 'Acanthus 'Whitewater' is going to be much more vigorous. We grew 4" pots and they quickly filled the little pots.
