Brought Three New Hercs

[Audwoman]

Heuchera Hybird Amber Wave
Heuchera a. 'Ring of Fire'
Heuchera Hybird Green Spice

Do you think they will survive if I put them in the ground now or should I protect them in pots for the winter. They are 1 Gal nursery size.

[boo]

Plant them now. :D

Nice choice of heucheras. :wub: :wub:

[terese]

Ooo nice selections Aud. :mellow: It depends on how lont before your first frost...i've just planted H. Ring of Fire and H. Chocolate Ruffles...the first frost date is still pretty far off. H. Amber Waves i would worry about...it's not known for it's hardyness.

[SilenceOfTheClams]

Geeeeez....... Huechera pandemic!!!!!!!!!! NICE SELECTION THERE AUD! :wub: :wub: :wub:

I'd better get with the program next year... (major slacker... I know... I know)

[Audwoman]

Boo, two were from my midnight madness. They are a good place I got bonus plants too. Yippeee I needed more sedum.

terese, Thanks for the heads up on Amber. I will baby that one. I also heard it wants more sun to survive.


Clams did you see "Pulp Fiction"? "KETCHUP" :lol:

[Sneezie]

:unsure: Me too Clams, slacker that is, since the diggin I just been afraid to get too much goin here again. Guess you could say I`ve been spooked! <_< :mellow:

[terese]

Ooo so Aud you got those at the same place at the succies? i was wondering if their Heucheras are nice. :blink:

[terese]

oh make sure you protect AW from strong winds also. :wub:

[SilenceOfTheClams]

Aud.... I'm on "dim wit" mode here today... yes I DID see Pulp Fiction and remember the Ketchup joke but I'm not getting it here! :P OH OH OH OH OH I GET IT NOW!!!!!
LMAO..... I"m lagging behind like the baby tomato!!! LMAO!!!!
Aud.. only YOU could reach out and TOUCH SOMEONE with a Quentin Tarantino Movie!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sheeesh...... I"m no lightbulb that's for sure!

[Audwoman]

:lol: :lol: :lol: @Clams

terese, it is sounding like I do not want Amber...She wants sun, she can't take it too cold, she don't want too much wind. Gee Whiz she is going to have to SUCK-IT-UP she is living or dieing in PA. :lol: :(

[terese]

:lol: :lol: Yeah AW is prissy. :P If AW dies on you i'd suggest getting peach flambe or peach melba instead...they're suppose to be less picky. ;)

[Audwoman]

If I can find them I will give them a try. I had to order these. All they sell around here is Purple Palace. At least "Missy Amber I Want" did not cost me 22.00 bucks. :D Everytime I see them on the net they are asking a pretty heavy price for those 3" pots.

[terese]

Good grief! for $20+ that better be a gallon size pot overflowing with heuchera. My gallon sized ROF was on sale for $3.99. -_- Don't give up hope...the local nurseries never had anything heuchera wise until this year...next year i hope it gets even better.

[buster]

Aud, I just saw a garden show today where they used Purple Palace to contrast with some of their green plants and it looked awesome. The garden they planted was a foliage garden and was just too cool. I'm not familiar with the new ones you bought but they are probably cool as well. Next year I'll definitly buy more Purple Palace to go in my new bed. And some of the very dark Coleus and some low growing grasses.Connie

[mla2ofus]

I love the purple palace. Has anyone planted it beside "moonbeam" coreopsis? Beautiful!! I want to get chocolate ruffles and one that has very marbled colored leaves but I can't remember it's name right now ^_^ (Senility strikes again--or CRS? :lol: )
Aud I googled the ones you mentioned. They are really pretty.

[grindle]

Nice choice Aud, I agree with terese AW is very finicky but pretty :rolleyes:

[terese]

Linda the marbled one....hmmm....Monet? or...strawberry....swirl (i think). Chocolate Ruffle is a nice one...also obsidian for another dark leaf heuchera.

grindle how's your AW doing? :wub:

[grindle]

well -_- could be doing better, I think I'm going to have to move it somewhere better

[mla2ofus]

Thanks Teresa. It's Monet. The obsidian is going to have to go on my list of must haves. I actually started a list of plants that I've seen on the forum so I can get a head start in the spring
