Heuchera 'Mysteria'

Loving your garden Annella its fabulous!!!!

I agree with Nana. What's the purple flowering plant?

Mine has perished! Yours looks amazing! No rust or anything! Well done.

The purple flower is Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' Dawn. It's an old favourite, flowers non stop :o)

Whooo, a perennial? Sounds good

Don't want to rain on your parade Dawn, but in your frost pocket you might struggle to overwinter it. I haven't managed to keep one yet. Then again, I think it is the wind, rather than the cold that destroys mine.

Thanks Karen. Well if you cant, i stand no chance. Sooo frustrating.

They're not expensive Dawn if you buy them as plugs, and they grow really fast i actually considered using them as annual bedding because they flower for so long. I might do that in the future. The scent is lovely, and in a mild winter they would be fine. Or...i could have overwintered cuttings in the greenhouse. I grew stocks from seed this year, so they have filled up the spaces where the Erysimums were.

They usually have a life span of 4 years in my garden. Excellent value for money as they are never without a flower and seem to be at their best early spring :o)

Yes, a great spring plant!
