I grew them from my own seed yorkshire.
Thanks for the compliment Terra, I love the challenge.

How long did it take you to grow them to this from seed, Cinders? And I guess you need a greenhouse for propagation? What have you used for containers...looks a bit like a wrap rather than a pot?

I think I planted the seed early September, and they were up in a couple of weeks. I shall protect them in my greenhouse for the winter, but after that they should be ok outside. The containers I am trying for the first time. I bought them as flat discs at the GC. You stand them in water and they swell up to the size they are now and I pricked the baby plants straight into them. It is like a plastic propogator with a lid,but I wont put the lid on unless it gets very cold, and I might be tempted to bring them indoors then.

Very gratifying to grow your own I would think and these look very healthy and sturdy.

You can have some wonderful colours from heuchera seeds
They do not often come true from seed but as I say lots of lovely colours maybe.

Yes so I have discovered. This is the second year I have tried this.

I think it good fun collecting their seed to see what comes from them.
Our national collection always looks a bit tatty when all the seed heads are on but they could be carrying treasure so I have to leave them on for a while lol
