Re: hard working heucheras

**"* C* <d*@sympatico.ca>**

Hi Colleen,

i really like this group of foliage perennials and include them in a lot of

my designs.

we have about 25 heuchera, heucherellas and tiarellas cluttering up our Cdn

zone 5 yard.

this growing season saw days about 30degC triple and our rainfall almost

halve itself during the summer.

obsidian, amethyst mist, key lime, green spice, silver scrolls, chocolate

ruffles, purple palace, and black currant all did very well as did the green

leaf bressingham hybrid

rave on put on the best show.

creme brulee and caramel are just sitting there biding their time....nice

and healthy looking but not really making any progress.

both peach melba and southern comfort flopped over and haven't really perked

up yet but the crowns look healthy enough- we'll see what happens next year.

the heucherella sweet tea  is holding its own in a tough spot....dry shade.

tiarella's black snowflake, wherry's, iron butterfly and crow feather are

doing well but they're newly planted this year.

hope this is interesting and helpful

Dan
