Re: Heucheras
BJ
after I read your respond I went outside to take a good look at my Heucheras.
It's not really a bad looking thing. mine looks to be about 12" tall has
leaves about the size of the palm of you hand, green with a purple
underside. I know mine has at least 10 to 12 bloomstalks coming up from
the plant. it has all of these little bitty bud that look to me like seeds
I've bought and planted mine at least 3 months ago and this is all I
get...........it's kind of a blaaaa plant IMO, however I will find it a home
in some out of the way place and see what happens. who knows someday it
could turn out to be a show stopper.
we will keep each other posted ok
