Re: Heuchera 'Amber Waves'

I have Snow Angel - it is hardy and happy here. The foliage starts pinkish and matures to a resemble a heavy dusting of snow!

I have been getting quite envious of the Phormium growers. I can not (at this time) bring it inside for the winter. I saw some several years ago and fell in love with the colors.

Gene, Yes I think this plant is going to be a love or hate plant. I like the sounds of what you planted. Maybe it will grow on her, and then maybe not. I didn't like it at first either. Snow angle I am not familiar with it.

I am going to divide up Heuchera ' Plum Pudding' as I think that one will be another one that is outstanding with it. Where I have Plum pudding it gets lost in the background shade and needs to be front and center where it can be enjoyed.

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.
