Is there something wrong with this Heuchera?

Here's pics of Dolce Creme Brulee before the Easter freeze and one taken in May. Did the freeze cause this or is something else wrong with it? I have quite a few that look like this.

I would say it was the freeze. I had a number of mine that looked a lot worse after the freeze. It killed several of them. And some of the rest took a long time to recover & start growing again. I'd just take off the bad leaves & let it do its thing.

Since you know of the freeze, I'd agree that it's probably what caused the color/texture changes.

It's just my preference, but I would only cut away anything that's brown/dead or especially bad looking, and let it do its thing....

Thanks Reldon and PM. I cut the worse of the leaves off and we'll see what happens. I only lost Peach Flambe in the freeze, but I've got several that look like this.
