thankyou to janey ;o))

I love it San , I expected it to be frilly and it is ..... do they have a sale table at the Hort. college , are these plants that the students have grown ?

thanx amy, they have a shop on site which they sell what the students grow, so normally a little cheaper than garden centre, this was £4 compared to £6.99 at GC, but i just loved the frilly edge, aparently gets frilly as winter comes ;o)

you still buying plants San..dont know where you put them all lol..mind you i cant talk..nice healthy plant though looks lovely :o)

lol joan, i moved all my dead nettle as it was taking over, so moved a couple of plants and still have a couple of slots to fill hahah,but it all looks better, i have 6 heuchera now and another in mind when i get my voucher to spend on crocus, its a green laef heuchera im wanting, cant remember name though ;o))

lovely plant there & great colour to those leaves too

Such a good choice, San. It adds interest if the leaves curl as winter approaches and the colour is really nice.

thanx linda ;o)

This is wonderful San....'beauty colour' is lovely too...I bought it earlier in the year....:>)

thanx moti, glad you have beauty colour and like it, looking forward to getting mine now ;o))

Thanks for naming my physalis. Your heuchera is SO dainty. Never thought of putting one in a pot.. I have several in the gaden amongst artimesia.

Anther delight Sanbaz and Roseberry mien are all in pots and growing well and the oen that in the ground not at all will need to replace with something else.

I think they would also look very nice in hanging baskets with winter pansy.

Lovely plants and so many colours of leaves to choose from and they seem to flower all summer too. I broke some cuttings off and just stuck them in the ground in July and they all took.

I love the dark ones best ............... they are so dramatic. Yours does the job beautifully, and I like the thought of cream flowers as well.

thanx roseberry, scotkat,linda and silverbelle for your comments,
linda they sound easy to grow and glad all yours took well, ;o))

Oh love the frill and lovly colour,i have just one so far, but im going to look out for more, can you please tell what to do for winter do they die back, i have mine in a pot shall i leave it in there for winter.???

hi margaret glad you like this one, its one of my favourites of the ones i have, love the frilly edges so much, they should be ok over winter, mine were last year, a few tatty leaves come spring which i took off but soon got lots of fresh growth through the spring and summer, so im sure yours will be ok in pot to, alot of people place their pots on a south facing wall over winter for extra warmth, if you can do that, i dont have a south facing wall in my back garden so i normally just shelter them in a corner away from cold winds, hope this helps ;o)

Thanks San,but can you tell me if it dies right back like say Astilbes or Fuchsias.sorry to be a pain

sorry margaret forgot to tell you that bit hahah , no they dont die back, they are evergreen, think thats why i love them cause colour all year round ;o))really tuff little plants

Thanks for that San :-), oh i'm pleased any shape or colour through the winter months is nice, which seems to have arrived,We had the first frost in Essex last night .I did not no they came in so many colours and shapes i will definitely be looking out for more

yes we had frost other night but not to bad, need to get some of my plants taken in and prorected, yes think i read there is over 50 different heaucheras, would need bigger garden to fit them all ;o)

O M G, ha ha, i wont tell Norm, he despairs, his favorite word apart from no :-)is were are thy going.but how exciting. That must be nice to have a holtecrol

sounds like my baz, the no word pops up quite often lol and also keeps telling me the garden is full haha, but we dont listen, i just sneak them in now before he gets home ;o))

Well done , girl after my own heart,:-)) yes that's what i used to do , but sadly since my op i'm not allowed to drive anymore, also norms retired now. But he normally lets me have my own way,LOL he Say's its easier that way, hope your having a good weekend

Norm is a wise man lol, its quiet here, baz working all weekend and family either away or busy so im alone, well i have casper but feel alone since joe went to uni, but im getting there, keep popping into garden as its a lovely day, taking a few plants out or putting a few in lol, also taking leaves up which i hate hahaha, so a bit of time on here then will start the dinner, roast lamb for two ;o)) hope you are enjoying your weekend margaret ;o))
