'Pewter Veil' floppy?

14 years ago

I have two 'Pewter Veils', one growing in considerably more sun than the other, but both exhibit a growth habit that is loose and open and floppy. The individual leaves look healthy and are attractive, but their stems are long and weak and the overall effect is disorganized and unkempt looking. This variety is quickly losing points for me! Comments?

hmmmm...mine is in full sun and is actually quite compact. It is about 7 or 8 years old and I have never given it any extra water or fertilizer. I love it! I have also never had resink it either. I planted it there when I knew nothing about heuchera...just that I loved the foliage and that it was a perennial.

OK - I shall move one of mine to a sunnier spot and see what it does. I do like the colour. Thanks Brenda.
