Answer 1

hi

i have a lovely purple heuchera which lives in the shade of a rosemary so gets less than 5 hours sun and does fine.

if you look at the above link you'll see that for eg Heuchera 'Chocolate Ruffles' (try to resist buying that one! :)) is happy just about anywhere with any level of shade.

heuchera are really pretty, so it would be nice to have a mix of diff coloured leaves.

good luck :)

Answer 2

I like Heuchera sanguinea Bressingham hybrids.  Bressingham Blaze has bright red bell shaped flowers from June to September.  Height 12 to 18 inches.  Plant in a sunny position in light well-drained soil.  Try to provide some shade when it is very hot.

Others:

Bressingham Bronze has deep purple foliage.

Palace Purple is a cultivar and it has bronze leaves.
