They have grown really well in a shady spot, they are very bright, although they do have a look reminicent of a bright lime green lettuce
I went abit OTT with the heuchera in my new garden last year, must have bought a dozen different types, from lime, to bronze, red, purple etc, they are a great started plant as they grow fast and add instant colour, i really love em. I bought 2 more last week.. damn wish they didn't keep bringing out new ones! My gardens gone from a field when we moved in to something resembling a garden in 18 months hehe.
My Scottish heritage gets great delight from heucheras. They give you colour in the garden all the year round and lovely flowers in the summer plus they are so easy to increase. my lime green one became four fine plants in less than a year.
actually i was looking around this weekend and it's getting to the point where i'm not too embarased to show pics hehe will get some done this week in the sun
Put it this way this was the garden when we moved in, to say it had a lack of plants is something of an understatement! Unless you count, creeping buttercup as a plant that is.

This pink rose smells wonderfull, but I've forgotton it's name, planted it about 21 years ago.
This yellow day lily is perfumed too. My son gave me the cornflower for Mother's Day when he was about 10 or 11 and he's now nearly 30!
Oriental poppies are coming out. Looking more summery.
Marion more wonderful pics of youre garden.
Andy as Nutcutlet said you can do just what you want with such a blank garden. It will be great to see some pics of it now.
Wow Lizzie what a rose.
Yes, gorgeous photos from everyone and amazing potential from Andy, can't wait to see what he's done so far!
Andy- how did you take the pic?
Have you got wings like me?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
