Hart, I saw your Iris & thought they were similar. I don't remember when I got mine or where but yours were lovely. I have some gorgeous ones growing by my front door that are not blooming yet.

Heucherellas are just as easy as Heuchs. Same for Tiarellas. You only remove the bloom stalks. Most people don't even cut the dead foliage in spring as the new foliage covers it up sort of a self composting plant. The only maintenace required is replanting if they heave and dividing every 3 or 4 years if they are fast growers. If they get too many babies they will sink and die.

This is a Heucherella. It's either Alabama Sunrise or Stoplight.
