Pam/ Woodthrush's co-ops on the Yahoo site? Have you been?

You have to be accepted as a member before seeing the postings. These are Terra Nova selections, some new. Liner sizes.

I have never been there but I kind of remember comments about it being confusing.

It's in the Yahoo groups, which I find confusing themselves, but Pams co-ops are not confusing, and are an excellent deal.

I plan on ordering quite a few from there, but I need to know the delivery date.

I got some 'Georgia Peach' from her last fall and they are doing quite well.

I ordered from Ilovehostas.net this time.

The ones I ordered:
heuchera Cinnabar Silver
heuchera Green Spice
heuchera Silver Scrolls

I'm am still confused, I don't think I quite understand the difference between the heuchera and the Heucherella.

I don't know if the cultural needs are any different, but I do know that Heucherella are a cross between Heuchera and Tiarellas.

Sheryl the needs are the same. Only a feeding of 5 10 5 once a year in spring . Do not like wet feet. The sun requirement depend on what Heuchera was used in the cross. Those with Villosa can handle more sun.

If you go to the Terra Nova website it will tell which of theirs like sun or shade.

So....This is about sun or shade? I thought Georgia Peach was a shade plant, but they did nothing till I moved them to morning sun and they just took off like a shot.

No, not all about that. I just thought I would mention the listing on Terra Nova.

Polly is right going to the Terra Nova site is a good idea , they list the growing conditions and other info for each plant.

Susan Georgia Peach has Villosa as part of it's parentage and it is rated as full sun - part shade . But it depends where you live full sun zone 5 and full sun zone 8 are not the same thing. By me boarder of zones 5 & 6 most can take quite a bit of sun.

That's good to know, Bob. I think some of the ones I have in shade need more sun. That'll give me something to do this spring, LOL.

Thanks Bob, I border 7b and 8a so it is quite hot sometimes and on the other hand it does a flip and gets quite cold. I like to stick with the zone 7 plants so when we get a deep freeze I won't loose plants. The back yard is full sun and everything bakes! Almost all my hostas are sun tolerant and they are in part sun, thats all they can take. The coneflowers and butterfly bushes love it and I try to stick to the drought tolerant plants, it's just easier. Living in the city, you get those city water bills.

As for the heuchera, I will look them all up, before I plant them, on the Terra nova site.

Yup! In between digging orders from dusk to dawn. Not this year though. My nursery is taking a year off to recuperate. And me too.

My gardens are calling me. I think they're calling me a slacker.
