    We picked up a few small plants recently in a garden centre. This was just a couple of inches high when we planted it a month ago. It's now nearly 3 foot. Would love to know what it is and how big might it grow. Also does it need to be supported?

    Edited, meant to say it's the purple plant in the foreground.

    Thanks for taking the time to help.

    Agree it appears to be a heuchera, but I have never seen one that tall!

    Thanks, I was just looking heuchera on line and this definitely seems tall, which was why I was wondering if it needed to be supported as it's starting to bend a little

    it a heuchera it just the flower stalk that's growing tall will be small cream flowers on it heuchera are grown for their leaves rather than their flowers
