Looooooove this Heuchera! I found it last year at the NW Flower and Garden show after wanting it for several years. Yummy!

Beautiful, Andi.

I've had mine since 2003. It has never looked that red & the colors change through the growing season. Last year was it's best for having the variegation - this year just so-so.

I have been noticing that different light and also different temps make a difference in the coloring. When I got some new ones this year, I tried to plant any I divided in different light. Then I will see which ones are looking the best after a season in their own kind of sun.

Wow, doublemom, I thought I was "done" with heuchs, but that one is just gorgeous. I will keep on the look-out for it. Thanks for posting the photo! (I think. lol!)

There's no question that different light/soil/temp conditions will drastically affect how a heuchera looks, but seeing what one is *capable of* is what lures me in. The seasonal color changes make them extra interesting for me, too.

Just be sure you label them all in the different locations. So many look like similar ones that unless I do, I'm easily confused.

I ran across a pic of Mardis Gras when I was looking for something else yesterday. Now all I have to do it remember what year & folder it was in...
