I bought this Heuchera as Sugar Frosting' a couple of years ago, now I'm thinking it isnt, cos mine has pink flowers and I found out that it should have cream flowers. Any ideas?

Bamboo, Just googled images of Cinnabar and the flowers are red :/

Lol, depends which photo you find - the first two I saw were really red and quite sort of fluffy looking, but a few I saw later were paler red. Trouble is, there are so many varieties of this plant now...

Thats true, oh well never mind :)

There is someone on here who's a heuchera expert and a grower, I think, but I can't remember her name.. Vicki something maybe? Perhaps someone else will recall.

Why not trawl through Plantagogo site, which is well illustrated with many varieties, and see if you van ID your Heuchera. As Bamboo says there are now so many varieties coming into the GCs it is difficult to keep up. Plantagogo have the national collection of Heucheras. Just looked...... and it does say SF has white flowers.

Checked it out, certainly a better fit than Cinnabar silver. Rave On indeed, what a name, are they feeding it MDMA as it grows?!

Ha ha ! Bamboo :) anyway, mystery solved, i have 2 of these and i rather like them, just bought Delta Dawn and Peach Crisp.
Going to catalogue all my plants on here soon for my
records.

I have Rave On from a GC. After a while it got Heuchera rust rather badly . I cut it back to 1/2 an inch above the crown and sprayed it with rose spray for rust etc. It is now back in good leaf, but no flowers so far. Best one for beautiful long, frothy flowers, flamboyant colour, good size and changing shades on leaves seems to be TIRAMISU followed by SWEET TEA.

Oh ok Dor, well im slowly building up my collection :o)

My favourite's one called Midnight Rose - very dark leaves with random pinky red splashes.

Just put all my Heuchera pics on my 'Photos', you'll see I have Midnight Rose Bamboo :o)

I should have guessed you had it already, lol

I think its the variety Cinnabar Silver... though the flowers on yours might be a bit too pink, not sure.
