Some of these plants are giant. Much larger them any of the ones I have bought. I did collect seeds of a few special plants this year and will try to grew a few more to fill in the holes.

I am trying to cut down a can of plants a day, but of course other things keep coming up. They are calling for early cold and snow this year. So I can not hold off that much longer. So many things to get done this time of year.

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Carolyn so good to see your post! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

I can't remember but seems like I plant them up in 6 packs about late March. I left mine in 4 inch pots for most of the summer and planted out late September. They seem to really grow big once out of the pots. I will keep you posted. The last round of growing heuchera was some time ago. I'm excited for these. Last time I just took seeds off all my heuchera that were ready at the time of a one time gathering and mixed them up. So no idea of the pod parent. Also, I believe some of the heuchera hybrids maybe sterile, not sure on that.

I do have to try to remember to collect seeds, it seems every time I think about it I am to late.

Carolyn how are your plants looking ? So far about the same as last year here , hope the survival rates are better.

So good to see all of you too!

I have thought about taking seeds from some of my heuchera to see what I get. I have not tried heuchera yet - it would be fun.

Bob - so far so good. We are only getting into the colder temps. The temps up until now have not been too bad. I too am hoping I don't lose anything this year. I lost a lot of plants last year.

I do have quite a bit ordered in Barb's co ops. I am hoping to get most of them to take. Time will tell.

Take care.
