Diann:


I remember, when I made my first attempt at the Heuchera, the tag saying full
sun and me, being a very inexperienced gardener, took the advice of the tag
and before July hit the plant was gone.  Now I've learned that I have to be
really really sure that when something says full sun that it can actually
take my Gulf Coast Sun.  You know what's strange about the Heuchera and the
tag - in most of the catalogs you see the Heuchera listed as a shade plant.

Mine (that is in full shade) has doubled in size since planting it this
spring but I provide plenty of moisture.  In the fall this bed begins to
receive more sunlight.....do you know if these will bloom in the fall?
