Heuchera in the shade?

It prefers half sun, half shade, so it'll be fine.

Thanks Bamboo, glad you said that - my partly shaded bed has mainly ground cover stuff in it and the Heuchera should give the area a little more 'sculptural' interest. I'll pop it in tomorrow.

i have all mine in semi shade too, they lift the area nicely and all year round too.

I also have quite a lot of different Heucheras and i plant them in all aspects and they all perform very well, i think they'll tolerate pretty much whatever you give them.

The only thing that affected mine earlier this year was caterpillars :(
Only the Heucheras in the shady part were affected, not the brighter parts.
I discovered it after 3/4 of the plant had gone but .... it's bouncing back now that the little critters have gone!
Luckily they're tough

In fully sunny positions their patternings can become a little less distinct I believe. I think just a bit of protection from midday sun is a good rule of thumb for them.

I planted it today in a shady-ish spot. Looks great! Have also guarded against anything eating it with some noxious spray that apparently makes the leaves bitter and therefore unappetizing to nasty nibbling things!
