Heucheras?

seaecho1
17 years ago

Can heucheras be grown here? I have a northern exposure where I'm going to plant some agaves and Mexican BOP. If heuchera can suvive, what varieties are the toughest for our arid climate, and will the summer heat be too much? The area gets a little sun, but mostly shade. Thank you.
