Terra Nova bred these from a hardy Saskatchewan species, and they hold up where the fancier heucheras sulk. On Amber specifically, watch the light — the pale, warm foliage colors are the ones that burn. Morning sun with afternoon shade gives the best color and the least scorch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeuchera 'Northern Exposure Amber'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNorthern Exposure Amber Coral Bells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14-20 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18-20 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardiness Zones\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4a-9b\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpacing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSun\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Shade to Shade; morning sun is fine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMoisture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAverage to moist, well drained\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDense, rounded, mounding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCustomers Usually Ask\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much sun can it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorning sun is good; hot afternoon sun scorches the amber foliage.
