Trailing heucheras for in a pot with a fushias?

This question was asked by
David M

I have a 70cm dia barrel with a fuschia in the centre. Can you recommend perhaps 6 heucheras to go around the edge? Ideally, with early flowering and perhaps some trailing over the sides.

Hi David
There are a range of trailing heucherella and tiarella (no trailing heucheras) that would look good with a fushias.
You didn’t say if it was for shade or sun so click into the ‘ more info’ to find out if it for fill sun or part shade
The heucherella should look stunning and all.flower too
Hope this helps
Kind regards

plant for part shade and containers

This question was asked by
Megan D

Why do you say that Dicentra “King of Hearts” is not suitable for containers? having only containers in a fairly shady courtyard I was getting excited till I read this. Would appreciate advice on other flowering plants which tolerate light shade.

Hi Megan
The reason I said it wasn’t suitable is because people associate containers with long lasting colour and dicentra king of hearts are mainly a spring/early summer plant they die down quickly as soon as the weather warms up and become dormant.
You can almost plant any of the plants we sell in containers (after all we grow them in a pot )
So if you want to you can no problem.
It’s only a guide not written in stone.
All heuchera, heucherella and tiarella love light shade.
If you put part shade into the search button it should bring up everything that is marked for part shade
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Emailed back in stock but they are sold out??

This question was asked by
Janet W

Hi received an email saying that a Trailing Tiarella is back in stock – tried to order and now told this plant is out of stock. Can I preorder and pay for 2 plants?

Hi Janet
Which trailing tiarella was it ?
Some sold out immediately but I’ve added some more of any I had more of.
Best to look again now quickly or add your name to the list again..we don’t take pre orders
You have to remember I send everyone who asked to be told… so sometimes they sell out straight away !!
Kind regards

Choosing a variety of heuchera for full sun

This question was asked by
Sarah M

Having recently moved to a house with a garden consisting of lawn, I am looking for a variety of heuchera that would form a border along the front edge of the front lawn adjacent to a pavement. About 10m in length. It is south facing, the soil is well draining and good for growing. I would like a plant that has a good size and has perennial foliage. I would prefer good foliage and larger leaf size – rather than flowers. Do you have any recommendations?

Hi Sarah
Thanks for you enquiry
The 3 that spring to mind are heuchera Tangerine wave, Red Sea and Prince
All grow to around 18inches across
They would do well in your situation we think
If you go online and each on (go into more info by clicking photo) you will find all about each one
All these are available now
If need any more please just ask
Kind regards
Vicky

Stock and are you doing Cardiff?

This question was asked by
Stephen J

When will you have Heuchera stock? Many varieties seem to be unavailable. Are you attending the RHS Cardiff show this year? Thanks

Hi Stephen
Stock are coming ready all the time.
There is never a time when we have everything ready at once as there are too many varieties for us to handle at once.
We grow all we sell, so weather conditions, us doing potting on time etc all change things, there is only Richard and I doing everything !
Every plant does say when I expect it to be ready if you click the picture and look at more info.
We are not doing Cardiff this year as Richard has had an operation and is out of action another 4 weeks yet.
We are doing all other shows in events list, including malvern which might be close if you were going to Cardiff
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Vicky
Ps some varieties have been added this morning
