This comment got me to thinking......“I will breed Heucheras with nice veins and strong colors in the leaves, looking like the Heucherellas, but with much better flowers”

I wonder as he was developing if some of the recent Heucheras were not the test to get to his final goal.

Looking at Circus it does have the veining look of a Heucherella to me. I just purchased it this year so I have not seen the flowers. What do you think? Do you think this was a test and because it was not quite at the Heucherella stage so they called it a new Herc?

It's beautiful whatever it is. I really like that one.

Clint you like them all you are not a good judge. You have lost your head over these beauties.

To be a Heucherella it would have to have been crossed with Tiarella. There are many Heuchera with different colored veining , a good example is Green Spice. As for it being a test , I would guess they almost all are in a way. I would think any good breeder would be working toward a better plant next time. Or that when he is trying to get a certain look , something else comes up that they think is worthy of release.

So true. I do like most of them, but this one is really unique. LOL.
