I carefully memorised this plant name

that was new to me – Tiarella.
Went to the GC looking for a plant. No plants.
Searched the seeds area. No seeds.
Asked the nice young man who put 5 Growbags into my
car for me. He said “Never heard of it.”
Came home half satisfied with 2 new Sempervivums.
Will try another GC.

A plant you don't often see in most GCs. I found 1 in a GC when I wasn't looking for it ;)
Have you considered buying on line Diana?

Thank you for your help. I dont feel so frustrated now !
Its in the RHS Encyclopaedia so it exists. I will contact the good lady who gets plants for people at Bosworths
Burton Latimer. I liked it after seeing a photograph of some that a Goy member posted.

You remember Vicki1 who has a nursery, well she sells Tiarella as well as heuchera, if you google "plantagogo" you"ll see them
I have to lock my credit card away before I venture on her site though. So tempting :0)

I bought one in Wilkinsons recently.

Trouble is the postage now, it makes it rather expensive. I bought mine at a garden show.

Try ebay, surprising what you can get on there, at least you can search to see if anyone is offering them.

Tiarella cordifolia (foam flower) has matt leaves and is similar in shape to those of Heuchera, except they are evergreen. I too find these hard to find in GC, the more expensive Heuchera seem always to be available though.
