Love Heucheras, they keep getting better and better... check out Tiramisu!

JoshS · « **Reply #1 on:** February 08, 2008, 03:11:23 PM »

There are some really amazing new Heucheras out there!

I think my favorite is 'Midnight Rose'...

I got MR last summer and it is just as striking in person!

I've got several new ones this year, including 'Southern Comfort'...

and a close cousin, Tiarella 'Mystic Mist'...

spring coloration

fall coloration

I will also have 'Tiramisu' and 'Miracle', which were mentioned in the article. It is unbelievable what the hybridizers have accomplished!

Those are beautiful Josh!

Most of my gardens are full sun but I'm hoping to add a shade garden this summer to grow more plants.

JoshS · « **Reply #3 on:** February 09, 2008, 07:42:36 AM »

Most Heucheras do fairly well in the sun. The light colored ones need the most shade. I've actually heard people having more trouble trying to grow them in too much shade.

Thanks Josh, that's good to hear.
I planted a couple varieties last year which said they could be planted in Sun.
Looking forward to trying some more new ones.

I love them too , I got a few last year. A local g'house has a nice variety of them every year.
It's really hard to choose which one's to buy .
I really Love the 'Midnight Rose' & 'Southern Comfort' !
Nice picture's Josh!

Josh those are beautiful heucheras! I like the Mystic Mist.

Last week I went to Rodgers Garden (local foo-foo garden/nursery) and bought a Amethyst Myst Heuchera, but only because I was able to get a discounted one for $3 (nothing goes for less than $9 in a gallon pot). I think this is a very popular color here as it looks like the ones I already have in the garden. Love the foliage color and the coral bells and the fact that it can handle some sun.

Bonnie, I guess I like Tiramisu in plant form and Dessert!

Annette.. you got an Amethyst Myst for $3.00, great deal!

also a heucheras nut here! I have several varities.. most in part shade/part sun but last year I bought carmel and put her in about 6 huors of full sun and she grow and got so big then all of a sudden she died.. I tried to move her when I noticed the wilt but it was to late. I am not sure if it was sun or if the pesky moles got to her.
I also had tried stoplight from parks and it was almost DOA and didnt make it

I also love them. I have about thirty different cultivars including Tiarellas , I think. I need to photograph them all.

I do have Midnight Rose for sure.

Terra Nova nursery is headquartered here and Dan Heins hybridizes tons of them.

I also have several varieties, some in more sun then others. I do like the Midnight Rose.... might have to try to find one. The seed/plant catalogs have started to come so my fingers are gettting antsy.

Great looking plant! is it a Perennial?

marla · « **Reply #15 on:** March 02, 2008, 05:34:11 PM »

Andy all the varieties I have are perinial here in zone 4, there may be some that are less cold sensitive, but there always seems to be a few of every plant that I can't grow.

A perennial, but you may have trouble with the summer heat and humidity. A lot of the new hybrids are hybrids of Heuchera villosa, which is more adapted to southern climates.

El Jefe · « **Reply #17 on:** March 03, 2008, 09:31:12 AM »

Did you mean Northern Climates? I live in Tallahassee which is like living in southern Georgia.

I just noticed that Josh sells plants, ONLINE orders.

Josh I knew you had a business but didn't realize you took online orders too!

What size pot are your Heucheras?

And LeeAnne, get busy girl.. we want some pix! please

Nope, I meant southern climates. Heucheras tolerate cold better than extreme heat. The H. villosa hybrids are more heat tolerant.

Bonnie, this is only our second year with the full blown online store. The Heucheras will be grown in quart pots.

Bonnie · « **Reply #20 on:** March 04, 2008, 12:33:36 PM »

Thanks Josh, I'm going to place an order but hopefully you can wait to ship for another month!

Guys check out his website, he's got some of the nice ones for sale at good prices!

Also has alot of Hostas....

JoshS · « **Reply #21 on:** March 05, 2008, 08:27:47 AM »

Many thanks, Bonnie

tinkster · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2008, 02:11:59 PM »

I want to order to.. so I do so now or wait till its closer to the time you ship???

tinkster

Bonnie · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2008, 03:29:25 PM »

Tink if Josh doesn't see this, I ordered and paid now for a delivery date around the end of May.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 05, 2008, 05:11:59 PM »

Nothing to photograph right now, they all look pretty ratty.

JoshS · « **Reply #25 on:** March 06, 2008, 07:45:59 AM »

Gosh, I feel like I've hijacked this thread...sorry!

Tink...once your order is placed and payed, the plants are reserved for you. I've still got a good supply of Heucheras, so it isn't urgent...but I would encourage you to not wait until spring gets here, as the selection may be slimmer.

Bonnie · « **Reply #26 on:** March 06, 2008, 08:13:04 AM »

Josh no apology needed..

I'm sure everyone else feels the same as I do and appreciate your comments, etc.

You didn't mention having plants for sale, I did! (even though you should have mentioned it)

You have good prices and it's always nice to purchase from a forum member when we can!

justme · « **Reply #27 on:** March 06, 2008, 09:55:23 PM »

I lost the ones I got from Bonnie during the pond redo but they were really nice. Might have to try out a few new ones this year.
