I'm new to Heuchera's, but I'm all so mesmerized by the amazing array of shades
these plants provide, when it comes to foliage color.
As I'm planning to buy 2 or 3 plants of different colours I'm asking you
Heuchera "experts" for advice:
1. Which Heuchera is the most vivid orange one?
2. And which cultivar has the most pinkish foliage?
Thanks in advance
Most colourful Heuchera ?

I wouldn't call it a vivid orange, but Caramel is a good color and a great performer. Southern Comfort is another. You might also consider heucheralla 'Sweet Tea'. Gets more bronze-colored as the season goes on.
For pink, my vote goes to Georgia Peach.

Re: Most colourful Heuchera ?
I've had Southern Comfort for a couple years now and love the color. Recently bought a couple Tennessee Coneflowers and, as soon as the rain lets up a little, am going to plant them near Southern Comfort for a little "Southern corner" under some river birches (light, dappled shade - works fine for heuchera, think it will do for coneflowers, too). Now that my daughter lives in TN and we have other friends down there, this corner will definitely be a Happy Place. Given my daughter's new-found love of that favorite southern beverage, might have to add Sweet Tea to the corner eventually!

Though they aren't on my list of favorite beverages, I just picked up Southern Comfort and Heucherella Sweet Tea myself and look forward to seeing how they perform
