I took the day off and me and the DH went to the arboretum to see what was up. and then

we had to stop at about every nursery on the way home and it wasn't a direct route I might add

Between 2 home depots, 3 real nurserys and 2 Pop-up garden centers I aquired 8 more Heuchera.

Mocha Mint
Silver Scrolls
Key Lime Pie
Caramel
Brownies
Obsidian
Autumn Bride
Firefly
I already had firefly but mine are mostly green and this one has green/white/pink leaves (on 1/2 the plant)
That was a home depot thing so who knows and my other one came from Menards last year.
Which one is really Firefly?????
I got them all planted and we had a great day!!!!!

Everybody keeps find these great plants at HD and we don't have any that are real close here!!

Mind you, the closest home improvement store of any kind is about 25 miles!

'Firefly' is a plain green one, grown for the flowers rather than the foliage. Sounds like you may have found a wonderful sport!

Now that's my kind of road trip!! Great list of plants too. I saw Mocha Mint at a nursery and thought it was interesting looking. Might pick that one up later next month.

It was a lovely day and a great way to spend it. It is a 45 minute trip in the metro and

$3.09 for gallon/gas. But we usually do this every spring to start something new and interesting for the gardens. I am lucky he likes gardening too or yikes there could be some eyebrows raised for sure
