Hello Debra,
Last fall I made an arrangement of heuchera along a limestone rock ledge
in my garden as one goes up the entrance path. I have 3 each of H. Amber
waves, H. Midnight Claret, and Snow Angle. The run along the rock edge and
sweep up the hill near the path to end with Hosta Red October. The one with
red stems. Not really looking for any flowers out of this planting, just
foliage.
I kind of like Amber Waves, but JoAn detest it. Had though to order it
wholesale and her remarks about what she thought put an end to thoughts of
inventory in the nursery. It is a strange colored plant. Bit slow here.. but
may break my rule and go fertilize with slow release to see if I can get it
jump started.
