There are so many of these marvelous forms in the nursery lists that I truly suffer from not being able to have all of them RIGHT NOW! I'll leave you with one more that I really, really want: Primrose Path's H. 'Silver Scrolls'. I've just gotta have it!
If you haven't added at least one of these plants to your garden, put doing so right at the top of your list...you'll be glad you did!
See ya' later!
More Information
- Dan Heims has written an excellent article about this genus, The New Heucheras that you owe it to yourself to read.
- If you're troubled by slugs, you'll be glad to find that Heuchera are among the Slug-resistant plants noted in this article.
- Want to see more of these marvelous plants? Surf on over to Terra Nova; Dan Heims has photos of scads that he's introduced to the trade.
- You can't buy from Terra Nova, but you can from Primrose Path, who also do a considerable amount of breeding of Heuchera, and feature some you won't find most other places. And, for all you northern type gardeners, their cultivars are especially winter hardy because they use parents native to the northeast.
- In addition to Primrose Path, the following online nurseries list several cultivars of Heuchera:
- Bluestone Perennials
- Collector's Nursery
- Crescent Nursery
- Forestfarm
- Heronswood
- Naylor Creek Nursery
- Niche Gardens
- Plant Delights
- Roslyn Nursery
