That's a pretty one, and striking leaves too. It's looking nice and fresh, even though it's September..:))

Very pleasing.

Thank you all, this plant always surprises me by growing so well.
The actual colour is much brighter than in the photo.

I don't do anything to it Sheila, I think it just likes its spot.

It has done extremely well, Hywel. The flowers are really pretty.

Hywel, this is a great specimen of a Heuchera! I have lost many over the years and have about five left now but they always seem to grow out of the soil and have to be replanted deeply ... :o(

They do seem to do that Shirley, form a thick stem. They probably need splitting, I have quite a few with new plantlets surrounding them....

Janey, I need to write a "To do" list for the Autumn!

That is lovely Hywel.I do have a red one,but it hasn't got that lovely foliage,it's just plain Green.I think mine is a very old variety,called 'Red Spangles' or similar ? .

Thank you all,
this particular variety never grows those long stems, it just stays the way it is. It is many years old now.

I'm not a heuchera fan but I like this one with its intricate markings.

Thrupennybit , LOL ... there it is ! I thought you'd made the name up :D

Thanks Anget I have a few but I prefer this type.

Lol Hywel no I never made it up I just pressed on your photo on my phone at it came up Coral Bells so then I search the Heuchera data base and found a photo for you.

Your very welcome Hywel 😊 nothing worse having a plant and not knowing its name incase you ever want another or replace it if it died. xx

I love this plant and have several different ones around the garden, They are real do-gooders and the bees love them. I do dead head them and they are easy to take cuttings from.

I agree they are good plants and fill a corner nicely.

Nice one.....

Thank you, it's really a bright red colour but it hasn't shown up well in the photo.
