    I have heucheras in my front and back garden. The ones in the front are completey healthy and unbothered by anything. In the back garden, a heuchera, a tiarella and a heucherella are all being eaten...leaves holey or completley eaten down to the stem. I have dug them all up today and put them in pots on the deck.
    I guess time will tell if i brought the villans with the plants, but any feedback is appreciated..I guess I will be looking at them in the night / spraying them with safers soap..

    Weevils go for these in a big way. The two rosette-forming favorite perennials liable to be found to have been eaten off at the ground level during summer here are heucheras and primroses.
