Heuchera: (Common Name: Coral Flower). The common name refers to the flower colour of the original garden varieties. Nowadays the flowers come in many shades of white, green, cream, pink, coral and deep red. However these plants are mostly valued for their attractive and colourful leaves, which give interest throughout the year. They are happy in shade, preferring reasonable soil but tolerating dry shade well. When grown in full sun some of the more colourful leaves can scorch - we have tried to select resistant varieties. The only serious pest is vine weevil, which find the roots irresistible. If this pest is a problem in your garden check plants regularly by doing the "tug test" - gently pull holding a leaf. If the plant comes out of the ground, dig it up and kill any grubs in the soil and replant. Heucheras do tend to pull themselves up out of the soil so regular replanting is beneficial. Propagate by division. Heights quoted below are for the leaf mound - flower spikes grow taller.
