I have several coral bell varieties in my afternoon shade garden, however I believe this one reseeds itself? It is planted next to a flagstone patio and as we speak, there are several Heuchera seedlings sprouting up between the cracks of the flagstone near where Blackout is planted. Has this plant or any other heuchera variety done this? Seems odd! Well, I'm going out to pot 'em up!

These Heuchera did not survive their first summer for me. They just dried up and died. They seemed to need more water than my others.
