Any idea what this Heuchera "Hollywood" is suffering from?
Planted 4/5 weeks ago. Sunny wall-side-trough bed. Two weeks prior to planting had prepared bed by mixing in well rotted leaf mould and multipurpose compost. Well watered for first two weeks, then left to own devices.
In Surrey.

Check the underside of the leaves - if they've got raised bumps or pimples, its heuchera rust. Remove badly affected leaves - spraying with a suitable fungicide will help, but make sure you spray under and on top of the leaves.

if no pimples/pustules underneath then could be mildew on aging leaves. remove the badly affected leaves any way and put in the household bin not compost.

And, they prefer a little less sun, and a little more water than many garden centres advise.
