    @Safflower My heuchera addiction started quite some time ago and I have now lost count of how many I have. Some of them can grow so big so make sure you leave plenty of room for them when planting out.  Which ones did you go for? I also have two Deutzia shrubs with white flowers and now about four foot high. As we are experiencing gale force winds at the moment my only complaint is that my allotment looks as though there has been a snow storm.
  • I'll say it again...the prices have climbed and the sizes of pots haven't. Paying more than £3.50 for a 9cm pot seems excessive to me. Will sit back and see what comes through but the current stock makes me want to buy from other nurseries in 2 litre pots for not much more and you have a more established plant.

    @Fran IOM I went for the colourful ones, Ginger Ale, Fire Chief and Milan. You made me laugh with the snow storm comment lol. I'll bear that in mind!

    Agreed! I wish there was somewhere else online I could buy cheap plants like they used to sell!

    @Safflower I haven't got any of those! My favourites that I have are Chocolate Ruffles and Marmalade pictured below. 
    Chocolate Ruffles has grown even bigger since the photo was taken.
    I must google the ones you have bought. Where I would find room I'm not sure.

    @Fran IOM Those are gorgeous! I wanted Marmalade but they were sold out. They have a berry marmalade but I already have some purple ones so wanted to diversify. If you want to talk more on heucheras, I started a thread a while back lol

    @Safflower Lovely thread. Just read through it all with some lovely photos. Will bear it in mind when I have some more pics.  :) Just going to have a look through the SGC website....There's also a thread "Heuchera Favourites Please".
  • Let's us know what's in the box @Treeface hope they're lots of useful ones for your garden.
