Beginner Gardening: Heuchera, 1 by sierra77

I have found that some heucheras take a couple seasons to look their best. I have had 'Tiramisu' and 'Palace Purple' (see image) for three years and the 'Tiramisu' is just now catching up with 'Palace Purple' and look beautiful together. They are in a shady bed on the north side of the house and get maybe 2-3 hours of sun per day. Sometimes this area is pretty dry in winter and sometimes it stands in water for a day after a good rain, but they don't seem to mind! This bed is watered with a soaker hose in dry weather. Have tried them in pots but don't let them dry out completely, they won't revive like some plants do after being watered. We are in north central Oklahoma, a few miles from Guthrie, right on the border between Zone 7 and 6, lots of wind most of the time- tough conditions for gardens.
