Hi Martha,

Home Depot and Lowels carry several kinds that are popular and good growers. Most of mine are from these two stores, they are less expensive and often at mature size (almost). I typcially see the following at Home Depot or Lowels,

Obsidian (my favotrite dark purple)
Caramel (nice yellow)
Encore
Berry Smoothie
pinot gris
Southern comfort
and other varieties.

You may not see all of them at the same time but throughout this year, I have seen many varieties at these stores.

For hard to get varieties, my favorite online store is Ilovehostas.net. Their plants are in deep 3" pots, healthy and take off quickly. They only charges $3.99 for S/H.

Good luck
Vivian

Thanks, Vivian!

I like to propagate from seed because you can get some interesting variations. But like you said, it's kind of slow... so if I'm trying to fill a space more quickly or looking for a specific color, I propagate my heuchera by splitting their rootballs or breaking off some of the woody stems and replanting those. Both ways work pretty reliably.

Thanks, Sharon. I'll definitely try the splitting or rooting cuttings. I have one that is decent sized and I love its colors and blooms. If I could get 10 more of that plant, I'd be very happy.

There are some informative videos on You Tube of propagation. It is very easy.

I am lucky to live in the land of Huecheras and find them everywhere that sells plants.

Walmart....no kidding. Find a Walmart that's located in an area of apartments where few people are keeping gardens. I basically bought their entire stock of Kassandra to place close to my house in an area shaded by a 60 foot tall Pecan tree and Palace Purple to fill a large bed underneath 50 year old Sago Palms. They are doing well so far...we'll see what happens when it gets to be 100 every day here in Houston.
