Kathy - yes a book is in order "Gardening with Dog Feet & Pruning by Tail".

Thanks for the link, Pirl. The Nursery that I eat lunch at (brown bag - I don't eat the plants...) has quite a number of Heucheras every year. I'll be checking with them on customer feedback. Seems that the peach-melon-amber varieties have had problems with melting away. However, Georgia Peach is in a container & looking happy (may be due to our warmer than usual winter, and avoidance of Dog Feet); Peach Flambe is looking like she needs an overhaul (pruning & replanting - she did better with less sun); and Dolce Peach Melba - all 3 looked good as could be expected during the winter, and require minimal clean-up.
Green Spice is one of my favourites: never misses a beat, unless the dogs step on her.
