Hi Renee,

I'm glad to see people are still running across these old articles once in a while. Last winter we had 3 really bad ice storms after all the snow had melted, and it really took a toll on a bunch of my plants, especially the heuchera. I spend the entire summer nursing along the ones I had and didn't even add any new ones. I'd say I lost about 1/3 of them. Really disappointing. But we live outside the city limits, not really out in the open countryside, but we do have fields all around us, and no protection for the plants. So I guess I'm lucky any survived. Maybe next year I'll add to my collection again. They're too pretty to give up on.

French Quarter was a hard one to find. It's not known to be a real strong one, but I've had mine for about 4 years now, I think, and its one of my favorites. Hope you're able to find it!
