This heuchera do very well in my garden - no seedlings yet - seem to do well both light shade and woodland shade. Have a nice splash of variegation with maroon mixed in.

This is hands-down my favorite heuchera. Very nice form, leaf-shape, and exquisite pattern. It does great in a pot or in the ground and looks handsome year-round.

I have a real "like it" (not usually loooove it :) ) or "hate it" with heucheras..... some cultivars just leave me "lacking" on why I'd really want them in the garden and some bring a smile to my face.... this is one such heuchera.... perhaps it brings a smile because it is surprisingly decorative compared with many heucheras I've seen.... the foliage is really QUITE PRETTY.... multicolored (lime green lavender and purple) with a sort of smokey effect over it..... new mid - age- and older foliage have very different looks which adds to the plants interest..... easy to grow.... nice color in sun and shade but best color in part shade..... :)
This is my favorite Heuchera so far. I don't grow them in anything stronger than morning sun and have had great luck; this one is just beautiful. Mine is in its second year and is about 2'H x 2'W.
