Thanks for the suggestion. I may not have tried that specific product, but the deer fencing I've got in place now for the roses out in front is all I need and all I want out there. There are plenty of plants I can find that are not deer candy. I just haven't been working in that part of the garden yet this year and planting season is over until fall due to high summer temps.
I do have one fenced bed out there where I can use some heucheras. I planted a shrub rose there and it turns out that morning and early afternoon sun wasn't enough to satisfy its need for light, so I've pegged so that it is getting more light and therefore more foliage. However, that leaves plenty of room to plant some heucheras where they can get some shade and possibly thrive.
Please ignore the weeds ... I've been working in back and haven't done much out in front so far this season, but here's a photo of the bed I think will work:
After I weed it, I am just going to dump a bag of compost on top of the soil and let it decompose this summer and winter and will plant it next spring.
If anyone has any suggestions of heucheras that can handle high summer temps in a low humidity climate, I would love some suggestions. I know I can't get them locally, but I don't need them until next spring.
Smiles,
Lyn
