I have several of these in various degrees of shade in my yard, and they all do well. They form beautiful full clumps. The plants become somewhat fuller with a little sun. The purple foliage forms a lovely contrast with the green of other plants, and the mounding form visiually grounds your landscape. The plants seem to benefit from occasional dead-heading.

Plant Care
Benefits from deadheading. Watch for frost heaving - mulch can help. It keeps the mature crown in contact with the soil and keeps the soil moist in the summer as well. Must have good drainage over the winter, though, so don't over-do the overwintering mulching.

Beautiful foliage and low-maintenance care. Avoid planting in fall -- Heuchera may frost heave more readily if not established before cold weather. Plant in spring in well-draining soil. Consider covering with mulch for winter.

Although the huechera (plum pudding) is new to me besides its beauty I find it easy to take care of.
I am in zone six and my plant is on my porch, It does receive some sunlight but not direct for a few hours a day. It seems to thrive better in partial shade conditions.
I do plan on getting many varieties next spring. If any one has information like propagation etc. that would be great.
