Some varieties are just not that strong. The hybriders have mixed the species of this plant so much that its hard to figuar out the requirerments for the plant. Here in the PNW must be a good area for them as I'm successful with most. Rust is a big problem here. My understanding is they are working on making them more resistant to this. Just like you Chris some I'v had for years and others I need to bring into the grrenhouse and pamper for the winter. A friend of mine did an excel spreadsheet on mine and I have over a 100 varieties. Heuchera 'Pistache' and 'Citronelle' are very hard to grow here. I wrote these off as not good for the PNW but got both of them in a trade this year. I planted them in a new area that is under the eve and close to the foundation. I was thinking this would keep them from getting so much rain.« Return to the thread "Wisconsin Gardening Magazine Article"
