Debra, Amber Waves is quite lovely with any of the hot yellow or orange
Crocosmias such as 'George Davidson' or 'Emily McKenzie'. I don't think it
is as vigorous as many of the purple leafed Heucheras though. Mine is still
fairly small after 2 seasons. I have not used creeping rubrus in any of my
containers. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello perennial gurus. I have had a lively conversation with other
gardeners about H. 'Amber Waves' recently. When I first discovered it last
year in a local nursery, I was intrigued but not sure I liked the
color. This year I decided to try it with some purple foliage plants and
now I think the gold-amber is quite stunning with burgundies and purple
foliage. I just did a tall pot with a burgundy phormium, Amber waves and a
small creeping rubrus to trail. I think it looks very architectural and the
color and texture combos I am really liking.
How is your reaction to this Heuchera that is touted as being the new
neutral (which I wouldn't describe as a neutral at all). Anyone else
growing it? Anyone not like the color of this plant?
