    I've never had luck with Heuchera before. They never lived long, no matter what I tried.
    I was very pleased to find Kassandra, a very strong plant. It kept its foliage all through the harsh winter of 2012-2013.
    Its colour is very pleasing and lights up shady parts in the garden.
    Mine only gets 1 hour of sun (midday-sun!) in summer and dappled shade in spring. I haven't seen any blooms yet, so maybe it needs more sun for that..
