Thank you Carolyn I will start you off with my photo taken today of my new one Fire Chief.

What should I feed my heucheras with and how often.?

Here are two new additions to my Heuch Corner...

Southern Comfort:


and Plum Royal:

Here's a picture of my 2 Peach Crisp plugs from Pam:


And a leaf from my Ginger Peach plugs:

and finally, a couple that came nicely thru the winter ...

Georgia Peach:


Caramel:

Scotkat, I usually feed my heuch's 5-5-5 plus they get some mushroom soil and compost tea.

Now with them growing in containers, that probably wouldn't be enough. I'd use a 10-10-10 and do it at least monthly during the growing season. They would probably enjoy some fish emulsion too. i try to be an organic gardener, so i don't use hardly anything synthetic.

Another thing that I do when planting new plants is to always mix some Alfalfa meal and some kelp into the soil. This really gives the plants a boost in their first year. Afterwards, they get both of those things mixed in with my compost tea.

You live in a world of wonderful gardens, I'm sure that there are many good plant foods available over there. They might not have the same names as the ones sold here.

Your link is not working. Let's try this www.trowelslg.com

Scotkat Your Fire Chief looks wonderful! What great color!

Christine,That Plum Royal is really pretty. I'm not sure whether I have ever planted that one or not.

Your Georgia Peach is just another example of why that is my absolute favorite Heuch. I also love Mahogany, but I've never seen anyone post a photo of a really good sized one. Mine stay fairly small and sparse.

Your Carmel is, looking great!!

Here is a picture of a 3rd year Mahogany,I do not think they get larger then this tag says 16 wide by 8 tall and that is about the size of this plant.

Thanks Stormy -- and ohhhh Bob I love that Mahogany!!!

Welcome Bob!! So glad that you've joined us! That is just about the best looking Mahogany I have ever seen. You get the blue ribbon!!

Now, plesase tell us, where and under what conditions do you have it planted?.

Bob

Beautiful Mahagony. That is one that I lost in the dry summer we had last year.

Thank you for the welcome. I was happy to find a place where there are others who like these plants as much as i do.I live in the northwest corner of New Jersey on the boarder of zone 5b & 6a.The soil in this area is slightly acidic which is good for these plants.Most of my heuchera are either at the front boarder of my shade garden or in the sun garden. They all get filtered morning sun and at least 4 hours of direct afternoon sun, all seem to like this except the light green ones. So far I have about 70 different cultivars of heuchera & I think 14 different heucherella.

That's great Bob! Sounds like you are a true heuchera lover!! We'd love to see some photos of your lovelies!

Scotkat, your Fire Chief is great. Love the color. Thanks for the link to your website. You certainly have a variety of interests. Do you do lots of garden work for other people? Looks like you have a busy forum there too.

Nice bunch of heurchs Christine. Georgia Peach is one of my favorites too. Ginger Peach is an unusual color - pretty. Caramel goes through tons of color changes for me throughout the growing season. Sometimes gold and pink, sometimes more green like yours.

Beautiful Mahogany Bob! Sounds like you've got a great collection. I'm with Stormy - pictures, pictures, pictures!

Heucherella Stoplight

Citronelle

Berry Marmalade

Nice Bob! Do you also have Lime Rickey? If so, I'm wondering how it does for you compared to Citronelle. I'm just not overly impressed with Lime Rickey, but your Citronelle is really nice.
