That is an impressive list and lovely layout!. I like the way you space them and the stones add additional interest.

Some of them on your list are my favorites after growing them for the last 4-5 years. I don't have much shade on my property so most of the ones I have are dark colored and can tolerate more sun or full sun. Please keep us posted on their progress and post pictures...

2) Berry Smoothie (I divided 1 into 3 and all of them grown very well and big)

5) Frost Violet (I have this one (five of them in two gardens) in full fun, grows fast and big)

6) Paprika (small)

8) Obsidian (small). ( I have 7 of them, 4 in half sun and 3 in full sun. I would say they are medium sized. Grow really well).

Georgia Peach (small) (note: you list this as small, but in my garden, it is ~ 14" and taller than most of other heucheras except Frosted Violet. Grow really well).

12) Fire Alarm (small), not a robust one in my garden. stays small and last one to fully leaf out in spring in my zone 5a garden. But beautiful and bright red color.

13) Caramel (Love this one. very symmetrical, grows well. I have 4 in full sun garden)

Nice garden start! It will be lovely in a few years. You might check out Circus, it's one of my favorites. If you have asunny spot there you might want to check out Autumn Bride, it blooms it the fall and the foliage looks great all season without fail. If you would like me to post pictures of mine, just let me know. Enjoy your new healthy addiction!

Thanks for your reply, Vivian. I have to say that your pictures of Heuchera have contributed to my addiction (haha). They're lovely and inspiring! The ones that I listed as 'small' (I was referring to their current size compared to those I was able to buy from local nurseries) are those that I purchased from hostadirect.com and ilovehosta.net. Cannot wait for them to get bigger!

Unfortunately, from my last post I've ordered a few more from Santa Rosa Gardens since they currently have a few Heuchera on sale. They're: 25) Midnight Rose 26) Palace Purple 27) Kassandra 28) Gunsmoke and 29) Stainless Steel. Actually, they're on UPS truck en route to my house as we speak. I've also picked up a 'Paris' from Lowes last weekend (cannot resist).

Thanks for your response and suggestions as well, Sherry. I sure would love to see pictures of yours. Are you sure that will help with my addiction?? (hah)

I am posting another pic that was taken yesterday. Again, please excuse the under-construction look, compost bags, weeds, etc.

P.S. The UPS truck just arrived!

Here are the two hosta I posted about above. BTW, I added a couple Midnight Rose last spring, mine have done well.

here is Circus! I have three of these, one wasn't enough. Ha ha! This one has bright pink flowers.Here is one of my Autumn Bride. I have several of these because I grow these in places that no other plants do well. They really deal with sun well here in zone 5. No fancy veining but the leaves have pointed edges and have a lime green cast to them, they also get larger than all the other heuchera I have. They get small white flowers late in the season, mine are just starting to send up scapes now.

Thank you for sharing your pics, Sherry. They're beautiful. Can you tell me how much sun do your Circus, Autumn Bride, and Midnight Rose get per day?

P.S. The Heuchera that arrived yesterday were pretty good size and healthy. However, they sent in Berry Smoothie instead of Midnight Rose. Santa Rosa Gardens will correct and send out the Midnight Rose to me. I'm happy with their plants and customer services.

Well, it's spring and I thought I should post some updated pics. Many of my Heuchera have grown bigger and fuller. I've purchased a few more last fall. It's my first spring with Heuchera and I really like their colors.

Looks great! What is the yellow groundcover?

They are Creeping Jenny.

Your photo reminds me of a California home I visited several years ago. Her sloping backyard was covered with mature heuchera of various hues. It was lovely. Your bed of heuchera is well on its way as well.

off topic

Is the plural heucheras or heuchera?

Beautiful! They did grow from last year. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! Looks so pretty with the creeping jenny.

Wow, your garden is filling in nicely! Your heurcheras seem to be off to a great start...very nice.

You have done what I want to do!!!!! I have a couple of questions. Did you plant just one plant in each spot? How did you decide space between each? Did you use any special color wheel or just wing it? Beautiful!! I can't wait to start digging.

Hi Susan. The deeper part of this bed (further in the pic) gets a lot more shade so I tended to plant the lime green colored ones (Lime Rickey, Electric Lime, and some Heucherellas). Toward the front of the picture, this part receives more sunlight. So I planted the reds, blacks, darker greens, and others that tend to like more sun (Berry Smoothie, Fire Alarm, Lava Lamp, Obsidian, Cherry Cola, Marvelous Marble, Caramel, etc.). I tried to spread out the colors so the color scheme looks random.

I did use different kind of ground covers though for those with lighter colored leaves. For example, instead of using creeping jenny (which has chartreuse color) around Southern Comfort and Kassandra, I planted Mazus Reptans which has solid green color and I think they compliment each other more. I also planted Ajuga 'chocolate chip' (darker green colors) as ground cover in the shady part of the bed. As for space between each plant, I just made sure I have enough room to walk in there to pull the weeds! So far, each plant seems to like their spot and has grown nicely.

Keeping fingers crossed for the summer!

Really, really beautiful.

Thanks for the information. I went shopping this week and am now the proud owner of 12 new Heurcheras/Heucherellas for a total now of 23 plants. The idea of putting the light colored in the shade and the dark in the sunnier area makes sense. Thanks!! I'll post some pictures when my new planting area is done.

What a beautiful garden! Do you have trouble with the creeping Jenny trying to choke out the Heuchera? I think they look really pretty together!

Thanks for all the compliments.

Linda, I haven't had them longer than a year so I can't speak of the long term effect of the creeping jenny. So far, it doesn't seem that the Heucheras are being bothered by the creeping jenny at all. My main purpose in using the creeping jenny as ground cover is to suppress the germination of weeds. There're small weeds here and there but overall the creeping jenny does its job quite well.

After years and years, my creeping Jenny has finally taken hold. I love the stuff and am really jealous of how well yours fills in. The color just sets things off so nicely.
