Heuchera colors
Heuchera colors
I don't post over here often, but I do have a pretty fair sized collection of heuchs. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of a friend stopped in to see my garden, and she was so taken with the heuchs. They were new to her, she hadn't seen anything but the older 'coral bells' that most people think of if they know about heuchera at all. I've been thinking about her remark about them. She said, "Oh, how lovely! You have fall colors in your garden all year round with those!". She's right!
I have a row of them along the edge of a part sun bed, and have everything from Peach Melba to Midnight Wine in there, and it does bring those wonderful fall leaf colors into the garden.

They certainly do bring an array of color to the garden. I just love them! My first two were just plain green coral bells, one with pink flowers and one with red. I was thrilled when I discovered the ones with gorgeous colors and foliage patterns.
We need a pic of your heuchera row, Linda.

Okay, finally, here is a pic. It's a little too bright out today, but I was reminded to snap a picture when we were working out there this morning installing the posts for my new deck. The little things down in front that look like weeds are actually alpine strawberries that I grew from seed this year. I thought it might be kind of to have them as an edging here, right in front of the deck.

It's beautiful Linda! So colorful! I'm so glad you shared it with us.

Ya know, Reldon, it just might be. I have it somewhere. I don't keep track of the names, but I surely should have.

To be perfectly honest, Renaldo, I don't think there's any hope for either of us.
I have a few that I know the names of, some that still have their tags so I can identify them. The rest are floating in a cloud of obscurity.

I've been longing for a heuch with red flowers on purple silvery foliage, and I saw one at Hornbakers this year. I have one, name lost in the fog of my aging mind...but it's not the best bloomer for me....I need one with those big lush flowers like your pic, Reldon! Anyway, I forgot to go over and pick it up after I was done perusing the rows and rows of hosta offerings, and I don't remember the name of it. It was new to them this year. I hope they still have some when I go back next week!

I'll have to see if I have the $$$$$$$ for one! If DH doesn't come up with my allowance for the week, I'll have to bring along a sandwich for lunch.
I'll see what I can do!
