Diana - I have become fascinated with heucheras too this year. I like the
pewter ones in particular and have done a raised bed in different varieties
of pewter and the palace purples.. I am pretty new at this and so far have
only 5 varieties (2-3 of each) and want to learn more about their flowering
times and size before I add any more. But I love them and they do well with
ferns and with sweet potatos vines (both the black and the chartreuse
colored ones).
