Heucheras forum

Peach Melba has been a very poor performer in my zone 6b gardens. I have had two plants for several years, and neither has increased in size. They have struggled so much that I am amazed that they are still alive. I have moved them to a variety of locations with different amounts of shade and water, but nothing has made them happy.

I've had this plant for a few seasons now and I really don't have much good to say about it. The leaf color is wonderful...that much I'll give it. But it is simply not a good grower for me. While other Heuchera planted nearby do very well, this one struggles every year and has progressively gotten smaller each season. This is likely its last year for me before it goes to the compost bin unless it does something dramatically different...but so far, it looks like more of the same. Slow growth and smaller than it's ever been.

Heuchera 'Canyon Belle' was introduced by the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.

I have grown this plant in a couple of locations. I know that many Heucheras tolerate or maybe even prefer the soil on the dry side. The trio of this plant that I have gets hit by my lawn irrigation every other day (45 minutes/zone), and is quite happy. It also only gets a couple of hours of sun, around noon-2 pm, and doesn't seem to mind that either, though it got more sun and less water in the other location. It appears quite versatile.

This dwarf plant overwinters in my Zone 6 in a shallow pot with other perennial dwarfs. It has been growing in this way for several years.
