Use Amber Waves to brighten up an area as you would variegated plants.  AW
changes colors as the leaves mature and since it may put out new leaves at
various times, the color of the plant can vary.  Yours may not be at a stage
you appreciate right now, but I think you will come to like it.  Mine are in
a bed with other Heucheras and Tiarellas, interconnected with Chrysogonum.
It looks terrific with the Purple Heucheras like Frosted Violet or Plum
Pudding.  Heucherella Sunspot works well in there too.
