Day 36 Heuchera 'Sparkling Burgundy'

Heuchera 'Sparkling Burgundy' is a pretty one. Great colors, reddish burgundy ever changing and unique colors that are different from other heucheras and so I have tried it a few times, BUT on mine the sparkling is usually from a fairly thick coating of powdery mildew. It may just be my northwest location but this is one of the few heucheras that I have deemed too much work. I am sure in the right spot with the right applications of serenade, its worth it. We got Helleborus 'Rosemary from Skagit Gardens. The say "It is a miraculous interspecific cross by David Tristram (Walberton Nursery in UK). Orientalis x niger." It has very prolific pink flowers on evergreen leaves. Plant in shady areas of woodland gardens.
