Heuchera ‘Blackberry Jam’ what will contrast with this in full sun

This question was asked by
Sarah N

Hello. I have a very large stone trough, next to a wall that is a foot heigher than it, and faces north. So shade all morning then strong sun later in the afternoon. I’d like to plan a scheme round H. Blackberry Jam (because my mum of 82 makes amazing blackberry jam!). Which other Heuchera’s compliment/contrast well with it? The trough is opposite 3 other large stone troughs of heuchera’s which ribbon with H. Emerald Cushion, Beauty Cushion, Amber Waves, Autumn Leaves, Berry Smoothie. Plus I have Paris elsewhere!
I am also in a frost pocket does this matter ?
Thank you.

Hi Sarah
Blackberry jam will do well there and contrast well with these variety and other reds, oranges, green, etc.
A nice silver variety Violet shimmer is attached or you could go with cherry cola, forever red, or tangerine wave to name a few
The fact that your in a frost pocket won’t matter, they are all very hardy
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Woody stems in heuchera

This question was asked by
William F

Before buying more heuchera need to know what to do with woody root spurs I’ve only just noticed, and wiry root system at end – dangling and looking parched, if not dead. Any simple advice please.
Will Fyans

Hi William
Heucheras can go woody (which is what you have described)
Easy to sort out …
Just plant deeper ..don’t bury the crown, only the woody stem.
Give it a feed this stimulates new growth
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Heucheras for a small border 40cm x 2m

This question was asked by
Janet G

I have a small border 2m x 40cm, below a bay window. It gets sun until about 11am then mostly shade.
I have dug out and refilled with loam/John Innes and will be planting through fabric with gravel overlay.
I would like to plant heucheras but not sure which to get.

Hi jan

As it’s in shade for the hottest part of the day but not dark you can choose any you like.
You will need about 6
Some nice varieties are
Heuchera
Forever purple
Forever red
Paris
Sweet caroline
Electra
Binoche
Cool dude
Sugar plum
Here are a few suggestions
Hope this helps
Kind regards vicky
