Re: Heucheras

Thanks for the good tips on propogating them Nancy.  I only have a couple, but all this chat has persuaded me to buy more.  I also like your tip on perfume bottles.  Sometimes I just don't have the right size vase for some of the teeny flowers.

I leave the stalks up until all the seeds are dry.  Then take the stalk
between my fingers and pull the seedheads off over the area where I need
more plants.  Of course, they come up in paths and where ever they want
to but they are easy to move when young if they have come up where they
will be stepped on.  Evidently the fresh seeds come up almost
immediately because I have little plants in the fall from summer
sowing.  The little bees do love the flowers and make some good pollen
exchanges.  Some of the colors are unbelievably beautiful.  I take the
leaves everywhere I go--show, programs, to promote them.  The leaves
will also root and make new plants.  They last indefinitely in a small
container in the house.  Well, sometimes beauty comes in small packages,
such as a small perfume bottle with Heuchera leaves.
