Re: Anyone collect heucheras?

Diana and Nancy--

I also collect heucheras, heucherellas, and tiarellas, and have been growing
them for several years now.  At one point I thought I had ALL of the dark
heucheras on the market, but they've gotten ahead of me.  Even at just one
of each, I have run out of space far too soon!  Some of my favorites are
'Cathedral Windows,' 'Ruby Ruffles,' and more whose names have escaped (I'll
have to go out and look.)  What's really fun is when they seed themselves
and new combos come up.  I have several very pretty ones resulting from the
bees' artistry.
