Scotkkat, don't know those varieties. I had success with two varieties I bought that would not thrive in the ground yet have loved vpbeing in pots.
Chicky, Heucheras do tend to die down a bit and spring back about now. Mine are shooting too......no, all is not lost, far from it

Prob so, magnolias won't have liked this weather much. Lanhydrock is further east than me and it's been very cold there this winter
Re Heucheras you may be right about exposure but some of he newer varieties are not too robust

Well done zoomer.
Once I get started I won't stop....hopefully next week. So much to do.....summer veg sowing, ESP
Lettuce to go out, shallots in, peas growing. Always a slight sense of panic in April when so much still to do

Check out helxine.

Hiya novice13
When you planted did you water it in?
Have you watered it since?

Semi shaded position is good too
