I have several dark colored Heuchera like Plum Pudding. They do really well. But the lighter fuzzy leafed like Caramel just die on me. Too bad as my husband really likes those colors.

My question: I bought a ton of columbine, the dwarf kind like the barlow's. They come back each year and have tons of flowers but the stems curl like a cork screw and the flowers are all gnarly and crunched up. I love the pictures but I dug up many last year and just gave up. Bad enough to fight the sawflies and the little buggers that leave white trails on those leaves that do survive. Blue and White Winky, Pink Barlow, Black Barlow, and several others a little taller just were a mess. Any idea about the curling of the stems and narly flowers. I know about the other two pests.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
