Hi Everyone

If I wanted to propagate more of the Heuchera's I just put in, when can I do that? I want more plants next year for my garden.

I personally would wait till next Spring in your zone they might not have time to get well rooted before Winter.

Ok that's good to know. I will wait then. Do these plants die completely before the winter?

Semi evergreen , depends how harsh the Winter is. And if they get snow coverage to protect them.

Finally finished putting in all the Heucheras and Hucherella's. I added two new varieties, Fun and Games Red Rover and Mahogany Monster.

Beautiful bed.....If it were mine I would add a few Hosta and big rocks for contrast. I am a crowd planting person and love an empty spot to plant something in.

Part of the problem of empty spaces is roots from the tree, and I can't dig in certain places. The rock's idea might be nice!

I do agree about some Hosta. Some with a lot of white like Hans would really pop. I also think it looks great and like Paul said some rocks would look nice and be a good solution to the areas with to many roots.Mahogany Monster has bee a very good grower for me.

Looks pretty but I agree with Paul. The rocks would help and maybe a bird bath or a garden ornament. It just need some interest and height.
