Dennis, the tall fern fronds make a good background for showing up the smaller flowers of this Heuchera. ‘Mint Frost’ is starting to develop some of its fall colour in September now, as our nights get cooler. The green leaves are getting more pronounced purple and red veins.

The combination of Heuchera and Ostrich fern is fantastic

Elinor, thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you found some useful info. It’s always fun to see what other gardeners are planting and get ideas for combinations.

This is my first trip thru your site – and I’m just loving it! I asked Google what to use for underplanting with hydrangeas. And there you were with all the info I could use and more. Now I’m looking for plantings for my shade area. It’s almost 1 a.m. and I’m beginning to run out of steam. Will go back to the home page and see about subscribing. Nite to you and will see you again very soon. –Elinor

MNGarden, I’ve become a fan of them too, since the decorative leaves make a good show in the garden. The leaves are on display for a much longer time in my garden than many other plants too, so they extend the garden season in spring and fall.

Heucheras are my new favorite plant.

Shady Gardener, there are so many new Heuchera on the market now, so I wondered which ones gardeners found most reliable. I’ve been very happy with the performance and looks of ‘Mint Frost’. I will look forward to reading how your new Heuchera do over the year, and what you think of them.

Hi Northern Shade! What a nice informative post on this Heuchera. It’s easy to understand why you’ve enjoyed it! I like knowing you are in Zone 3. I always think that if I purchase plants intended for Zone 3 (and 4) that I’ll be just fine! :-) Thanks for creating such a complete post. My favorite Heuchera? Well, I did purchase a couple of really pretty ones this Spring. I’ll have to give them until next year to see how they perform throughout all the seasons! I think Palace Purple is a stand-out for dependability and adaptability in a variety of settings.

The Garden Ms. S, it was fun to watch the flower stalks get longer and longer, some taller than the ostrich ferns. The flowers were a bit of a bonus to the plant.

I look forward to seeing how your combination turns out. I remember you had one of the silvery purple Heuchera.

That is a gorgeous Heuchera. I had a variety of them in my first garden and found, like you, that they overwintered beautifully. The flowers aren’t the stars of the plant but they really do add something and I always enjoy them.

I hope to post on my new Heuchera/fern combo in the next few days. You will have to let me know what you think! :)
