Today, as I was cutting through the garden center, as there is never a check

made. Left with Huechera Miracle and a white eyes buddlia....for about $6

Hi Cheryl and Eva
I wish our Lowes's would have a 75% off sale, Maybe they never do that
because we can
plant just about any time of the year!
Snicker - I'll bet if you take time to befriend the garden center manager,
you can purchase the "old stock" very cheaply.

I am also a Heuchera fan. I have a bunch of them:
H. micrantha, maxima, sanquinea.... the species that are native here
then I have Rosada Wendy Canyon Duet Curly Red (Cultivars of
the species )
also Plum Pudding, Amethyst Mist, Key Lime Pie, Creme Brulee, Saturn,
Harvest
Burgundy, and Hercules. One called Snow Angel (I think) didn't like
it here and went
to Heuchera heaven.

I have to go see which ones still have tags and share a few names. I have
lots. I have a "snow" named one that is still doing fine.

Now have you seen the Heucherellas? a hybrid of Heuchera and
Tiarella.
You've got to get started on those too, you know.
I only have 4 of them...........Dayglow Pink, Pink Pearls,
Quicksilver, Strike It Rich.

I don't really have a good spot for them - most of my shade is "dry shade".
Though I can easily water certain areas of it, I've mostly put the hostas
there.
