Yes , look at Great Expectations real close you can see the coco fibers, I planted the whole thing, like they suggest and they did very well. Very healthy plants, I was really shocked at the amount of eyes on the Gold Standard. Green Grin!

"I was really shocked at the amount of eyes on the Gold Standard."

Did you take Gold Standard out of the pot to see how many eyes it had?

Or, if you didn't, how did you know it had a lot of eyes?

Sounds great Bob, I remember you mentioned Jupiter. I can't wait to see it. I think next thing I will pursue is Aloha, I liked yours a whole lot. I got a few more heucheras from 'I love hosta's.net' can't remember, it will be a surprise Green Grin! .

Hurray! Hurray! for you Aloha. I killed my plug last summer Grumbling Wonderful new plants. I ordered from Forest Farms, they should be here around the 15th. A gift from me to me for getting taxes in the Mail. I also got in on the early SRG sale. Not sure when they will come. They are a great company but the shipping cost for cross country is high. Santa Rosa Garden, thought they were in CA. Had my heart set on the new heuchera so just ordered.
