Now sure if this is a really popular one or not, but it caught my eye at the nursery yesterday...
I am really looking forward to seeing the pink blooms on this one next spring!

Last year I bought a tray of Petite Marbled Burgundy from Shady Oaks and noticed one plant that was different. Even in the tray I could tell it was bigger.
This year that one oddball has 3 foot flower stalks and is an absolutely huge clump - easily the largest Heuchera I've ever grown, and certainly the largest 2nd year plant I've ever had
I think that it is Regina. Maybe we can compare them next year.

I got 'Regina' about three weeks ago in a one gallon pot. It is huge...filled the pot to overflowing (20" diameter). You're right about the flower stalks, Chris. I just measured mine and they are easily three feet tall. You'll love the color, Alexa. They start out very dark pink and fade to bubble gum color as they age. It looks really neat with several shades of pink all at the same time. It's been blooming here since I got it.
I also got 'Rachel' at the same time and that is, far and away, the largest heuchera I have ever seen. It is very full, 26" wide, 18" tall, with 36" flower stalks (though all the stuff on the web says it is much smaller). It was just starting to flower three weeks ago and is still sending up new stalks!
They will both hold their own beside some of my larger hosta.
