If you're on Facebook there's a gentleman named Jonathan Plater that sells shade perennials. He's in a sellers group. He also sells hosta...

I don't think so, but if you post your question on the heuchera forum you'll get references for reliable sellers. NJBOB is a collector. I myself have several varieties, but I buy from a co-op so I can't help you with an answer!

Go to the forums and I think it's in the individual plants list. There's also a group on Facebook you can join, but I don't think there's any sellers on that one. Lots of pretty pictures though!

Santa Rosa Gardens have plants at good prices, lots of sales but a limited selection.
Ilovehosta.net has smaller plants but they have always done well for me. They have a good selection and get the newest varieties before just about anybody else.

Visit us on the Heuchera forum if you have any questions. http://garden.org/forums/view/...

Thank you!!

I just found some at my local grocery store marketplace on clearance. A gallon pot for $4.

Each pot had 3 plants so I bought 4 pots. (12 plants.)

Any advise on how to keep them alive in my garden for more than a couple of years??

Why would you think they only last 2 years? I've had several in my gardens for at least 6 years and they're still going strong. I've divided some of them to spread throughout my gardens. Unless you don't water them or just totally neglect them they should return for years.

I thought I read somewhere where they are short lived perennials. Good to know they will be around for years.!!

They can be short lived i you never divide , if you do you can have them many years. Also you will find the background of the plants matter for your area. For me ones with Villlosa in their background do best.
