I have had my eye on this plant as I love dark colored heucheras. I finally found it at a local garden center finally, and it has done very well in my garden considering all of the different types of weather it had to deal with at first, (heat wave, drought then lots of rain, cool temperates, and also smoke from the Canada wildfires). It has a great upright habit plus I really like the flowers. Normally I cut the flowers off of heucheras as I think they make the plant look messy, but the flowers on this one really compliments it. Surprisingly the rabbits have left it alone (for now). I now want to add a couple more and add it's cousin, Dressed Up Ball Gown as I think they will look terrific together.
