Brown edges on my heucherella 'Citronelle'
Comments (4)Are you sure they are Heucherella's? I grow the Hairy Alumroot, Heuchera villosa 'Citronelle' (PPAF), which is a sport of Heuchera villosa 'Caramel' (PP16560), both from France, along with other H. villosa cultivars; 'Brownies', 'Mocha' & soon to be released; 'Miracle' H. villosa is an Eastern N American native, Z4(3) to Z7, and grows primarily on rocky, wooded slopes and rock outcroppings, in rich, moist, well drained soil, usually in shade to partial shade.Can survive periods of drought, once established. I grow several of each of the H. villosa cultivars; 'Citronelle','Caramel' & 'Mocha', in full or dappled summer shade, in well drained soil(slightly acidic) and have not experienced any leaf discoloration on any of them. At the U of GA Trial Gardens in Athens, GA, some of the photos of H. villosa cultivars exhibit severe leaf scorching, when subjected to long periods of direct sunlight.

Comments (5)I'm not suggesting yanking it out or anything. If nothing else, they look good and healthy. It's more that at this time of year, I have the time to walk around and notice things, and wonder out loud, as it were. Later on, I'll be too busy (I have a seasonal business that gets very busy from early June onward) to be observant, much less move anything around. :) They will get a lot of sun in that spot (morning sun until about 1 pm), so will get as black as they can. coolplantsguy, I've noticed that variability in PP before. I bought about 20 in quart size about 10 years ago to edge a bed, not really paying much attention when I picked them out as to whether they matched each other. Sometime later I noticed that I had at least 3 kinds that looked different, mostly in the gloss of the leaves, but also in color and shape....See MoreMidnight Rose and Citronelle
Comments (2)I have moved Midnight Rose several times and have finally found that, for me, it grows well in a mostly shaded area with some early morning light. Between rabbits nibbling on it and too much sun and/or too dry I almost lost it. It has come back and is very full. I have rescued heucheras by potting them up and placing them on my patio which gets morning sun. Be sure not to keep them too moist which can cause the crown to rot....See Moremygweb
