Spotted a few nice ones at the nursery today but held off until I see what others have experienced.

Anyone growing this one ins full sun with good results?

The only Heuchera I've grown with good results is Heuchera 'Black Beauty' which has a thick glossy foilage that doesn't burn. It still looks great right now after the hottest summer ever in WI. Full sun in this spot = 8-10 hours.

Thanks!

I bought this one last year late in the summer and it has been fantastic! I often don't have good luck with these late summer bargains, but this was an exception. The color stays true all season and there was absolutely no problem with winter kill even though we had almost no snow last winter. In fact, the plant was so huge this year I dug it up yesterday and divided it into 5-6 nice plants.

I don't know about 8-10 hours of full sun. Mine probably gets a good 6 hours - maybe more, but it hasn't suffered in the slightest.

Good to hear! I did a little digging and it seems folks are fairly happy with this plant.

That is good to know. I posted earlier this season asking about lime green or chartreuse varieties that could withstand full sun. I had Miracle which could not handle it, and I have been leery about replacing it. But this Heuchera Marmalade looks like a color that could also work.

In full sun, doing well, I also have Obsidian and Stormy Seas.
