I have bought heucheras to grow in pots from you , which I am delighted with! Now I have decided I would like something from you to go at the front of 2 borders, to save putting in begonias every year. I have 2 borders about 7 foot wide with an arch in middle. Borders are south facing, and both have assorted green bushes and a few taller flowers, behind where I want these smaller plants Would have liked both borders matching, but drainage on one has poor drainage {clay soil} if we have a lot of rain. I love your new fleur plant {to go in better drained one} and wonder if you could suggest anything else similar to plant alternately with this Also if you could suggest any of you perenials or anything else to go in poor drainage side, I would be so grateful! See you soon as I have another order being processed!
Hi Jean
Pleased your enjoying your plants from us
On the wet side the heucheras will struggle
There isn’t any way around that unless you can raise the border or improve the soil etc
So only plants that we will be doing shortly is candelabra primrose we will have 3 varieties red, pink and orange this year (coming to website next few weeks plants grown but not had time to put on yet )
Plants to mix with heuchera fleur would be black taffeta, bilberry Cajun fire and forever purple (last two ready soon )
Hope this helps
Kind regards Vicky
