Caramel.  She looked better earlier but I moved her and we have had very little sun so her color is faded

Lime Rickey. He sat there and did nothing all last summer, but in the fall he took off and stayed good all winter

I would really like Lime Rickey, but it seems to be another one that goes disappearing on people. :roll:

So far it seems to really like OK hot humid weather. When the other two were looking stressed from the heat last summer (temps above 100 for many many days) that is when Lime Rickey really took off.

Time will tell if it stays or if it goes,... hey isnt that a song? :lol:

Ginger, those Heuchera really seem to like this OK weather-glad something does. :wink: Glad to hear you are liking them.

Where did you find your Caramel? I haven't seen any "special" heuchera lately except Peach Melba (which is very special, BTW).

Thanks for your help.

Hi Imp! Good to hear from my fellow OK gardner :D
I got Caramel from White Flower Farm. My DD got me a gift certificate from them for my birthday and I used it to buy some heuchera ( Lime Rickey and Caramel) and some Hosta. I have not ordered anything else from them, but the plants I got were in good shape. They are kind of pricey.
