Love Fire Alarm Heuchera color stays and very pretty all summer. Only problem is it did not come back in the spring. All my other Heucheras do fine over the winter. Maybe in Georgia you would have better luck with it then me in Michigan.

I do have one which I expect to be outstanding this year. It looks really good so far. I transplanted it early last year in a effort to save it, I had originally planted four around a tree. I had lost three of them so I decided to move it to a better location. So far it Looks great. I'm guessing they were just not in a suitable location before. Anyhow I was thinking about adding another to go with the one that survived and just wanted to know how everyone else felt about it now. I'll try to post a pic. of it later today.

Here it is on 3-17-19. Not a bright red yet but looks healthy.

I tried it twice and it never made it through winter. First one could have been location but not #2.

Different climate but I have no trouble keeping heucheras alive long term.....any kind of heuchera. I have grown at one time or another Fire Chief, Fire Alarm, Mahogany and Root Beer, all of which have that intense coppery-red foliage. In my area these all do best and have the best color in a fair amount of sun.

In colder climates, I'd suggest trying Northern Exposure Red - a newer Terra Nova introduction that supposedly has greater cold tolerance.

My biggest issues with heucheras is that the deer like them almost as much as they like hostas :-( I have to spray constantly.

I have never had a deer to touch my heuchera's, but hosta's….. that's a little different. I have found that if I'll take egg shells and break them up kind of small then scatter around them that the deer tend to leave them alone. Last year I got lazy and the deer reminded me of it. lol.

LOL!! I should take a photo of my Frosted Violet. Was a big, robust and beautifully colored plant last fall. This spring it has only a couple of new little leaves peekng up from the center surrounded by this starburst of nipped off stems. Only the leaves are missing, part of some winter deer snack!

Since deer are so prevalent in my garden and seem to like to sample everything, I tend to plant anything I know they feast on in containers that are kept close to my patio entry where the deer don't visit. It also helps to keep the hosta slug and snail damage down to a manageable level.
