how can this plant be 8-10 inches tall if these photos are real? i want it if it's that big. might could grow that here since i can't have big leaf hosta.

I think it is 8-10 inch LEAF size

and certainly it shows in the picture the plant is at least 2ft. tall. Someone just was careless in editing the description of this. Most Heucheras are in that 10in. height range, so maybe they just used the 'generic' entry instead of creating a new one for this big cultivar.

The height I have seen on this one is 12 inches not including flowers .

thank you. this is probably the biggest heuchera there is , right? do you grow it bob?

and if you've seen it what'd you think about the leaf color comparatively speaking?

I have not seen that one around here. There are quite a few that have similar color, but if the leaves really get that color I would consider getting one. Brownies is the largest I have or have seen so far.

bob........is that avatar your dogs your house and your snow?
it is beautiful. like a Christmas card.

I have Magnum around here some place. I'll take a look but it sure is not giant size or It would know where it is.

is yours not big because it's a baby or does it just not get as big as the photos say?

It is 2 years old. Appears something is eating mine but there are new leaves emerging.



Looks like the leaves brown out some from summer. Color reminds me very much of 'Plum Pudding'
Not a very good specimen.

I don't know if this will be of use, but I found quite a bit of info on Heuchera villosa Magnum while looking for heucheras for my garden.

H Magnun is a hybrid of H villosa from Thierry and Sandrine Delabroye. http://www.plantdelights.com/H...

Leaf size is 8 to 10 inches'

Average height and spread is 1 ft by 2 ft ( some sites have H villosa hybrids growing as tall as 18-20 inches with bloom scapes as much as 28 inches) IMHO, I think those dimensions are possible if the plant is grown in near perfect conditions

This link is to the e-mail address for Sandrine and Theirry Delabroye

That is the key "near perfect conditions" Here in the PNW is not even close to perfect conditions for any of the Villosa. Barb, you should do well with this one down in Texas.

i thought it was more gray in color. i want a matte gray/silver one. i don't love magnum anymore and it wasn't your photo julia. it was plant delights. lol.


this is my first real year to grow heuchera moonhowl and it's made me want to try more. which ones do you grow?

I have managed to seriously set back plant growers everywhere. I had a couple of the smaller noids from SIL in Georgia. She said they liked sun and didn't like a lot of moisture.....in my ignorance, I fried them.
I have some morning sun areas that I thing would work so I am looking right along with you. (that's why I had the info on H villosa, etc) See if these have enough silver/gray to them.

This is pretty for gray but has pink undertones


None of the heuchera a really grey don't believe the pictures!!!!!!!! I have over 80 different cultivars here. I'm a crazy collector.

80 cultivars????Yup I would certainly say that is a collection.

Mamajack, I noticed in your original post you mentioned you could not grow the big leaf hostas. May I ask why you can't?

Yes Barb they were my dogs, but that was quite some time ago.
Julia is right none of them are a true grey. Glitter does have some nice silvering and does have Villosa in it's background.
