Re: heucheras/ Tiarella
Hi Bobbi,
Went through my catalogs looking for White Marble. Did not locate the plant in
wholesale or retail. My guess is it simply did not catch on and faded. someone
probably still has it and more than likely is pleased enough to keep trying.
probably pop up again.
Tiarella is one of my favorites. No one has beat the specie to date in my
opinion. One of the most beautiful and functional groundcovers for the shade
garden out there. I do have to admit, however, that there are many hybrids that
are quite lovely. Have a few here that perform well.... just wish I would quit
loosing the tags so I could propagate them. Just purchased 'Skeleton Key'. Next on
the list is 'Iron Butterfly'.
