I love the color in the picts, but for me this heuchera is hard to please. First it was in too much shade and it didn't grow at all. Then last fall I transplanted it to partial sun. At first it liked that -- it grew a bit and turned bright yellow, but now (in July) it is filled with holes and looks raggedy. So I moved it again, back to a shadier spot. My other heucheras are much less picky.

Non-invasive and not at all demanding, this little beauty was my first Heuchera. It has lovely orangy-golden colored leaves, with a darker underside. I have it growing as ground cover near my giant hosta, and it has done nicely in my mostly shady clay soil. I would estimate that in summer it gets 2-4 hours of direct sun. I don't remember its flowers, it may not have flowered at all (I've had it for about 7 months). I understand that this plant is an evergreen (or in this case, evergold), so far it has held up to light frost.
