didn't like my place at all. may be that zone 7 is its southern limit?

I've tried it twice - didn't like me either. Linda

I see it growing at abandoned home sites from time to time in the atlanta area.

I bought some cheap 6-packs from Wal-mart 3 yrs. ago and put some in a moist shady place--they were very small for 2 yrs. and this spring they finally have some growth to where it is noticable. I wouldn't buy any expensive ones. The ones I planted in dry shade and/or sunny places died out. By the way, I have a 2yr. cyclamen in a small pot that I overwintered and have placed in a shady cool microclimate place and it bloomed again (only 2 blooms, but I was trilled nevertheless) and still holding on with the blooms going on 6 weeks. I think if you have a microclimate that would suit a potential plant--you probaly can grow it.

Planted it twice--watched it die both times--won't plant it again.

I have alchemilla mollis - common Lady's Mantle. It grows fine just north of Atlanta in Gwinnett County. Better than fine. I got mine from a nursery over near Athens that sells only plants that do well in this area of Georgia. It's absolutely beautiful today after yesterday's rain. I'm a beginner gardener and not very good at it yet, so you don't need to know what you're doing to grow it. Make sure it's in shade.

I have some I grew from seed that is doing well under trees. 'Irish Silk' is the name of the cultivar.

It is such a pretty plant and I have watched it melt twice.

Looking for anyone else to comment, I want some so bad, miss my Midwest garden. I have been planting other plants with need of afternoon shade, in a new part sun bed with improved soil, hoping that may be what they need. I am halfway between ATL and Chatanooga.

Just planted 6 of them around a tall tree in my yard,waiting on them to sprout up,its not a very shaded area,will they do good?An how much should I water them and how long before they start sprouting up ?

I think it's most important to give them some protection from the late day sun. Like you should for most Heucheras. I just love it, and as someone else commented, so beautiful after the rain. Keep it watered especially the first year until established. They should wow you next year, if they are in the right spot.

I'm in Memphis (sort of between South and Midwest, but very hot in summer). I have perfect spot in garden (lots of shade with a little morning sun), and I love the plant, so I was going to try next year. Is it a bad idea? I realize I'll have to water a lot.

I keep trying it in Cobb county greater ATL, but have crash and burned so far. Trying again on a more shaded spot…..
