Difference between Heuchera and Heucherella?

Posted on by

This question was asked by
– Jan Downing

Hi, what are the differences between heucheras and heucherellas?

Hi Jan
A heucherella is an intergenic hybrid between a tiarella and a heuchera
They do this to get all the best bits if both plants
Heuchera has lots of different colours
Tiarella has lovely shaped leaves, so cross the two together and hopefully you will get a fabulous coloured heucherella with nice shaped leaves ….something different !

Hope this helps
Kind regards
Vicky

Finding heuchera Strawberry and cream

This question was asked by
– Sheila T

I saw a lovely heuchera called ‘strawberries and cream’ on your stand at Hampton Court Flower Show. You didn’t have any plants available to buy. Is it possible to order a plant from you as I can’t see it in your catalogue?

Hi Sheila
Thank you for your interest
Heuchera strawberry and cream is out if stock for now and probably until spring next year (although you never know what I come across in the nursery from time to time )
If you want to order one when they become available just press the ‘tell me when back in stock’ button and enter your email.
When I make it live again you will receive an email, so you can order them (just remember everyone who asked gets the same email !)

Hope this helps
Kind regards
Vicky

Which red/orange heuchera hold their colour best all year round?

– Anita

Please let me know which pink/red and orange heuchera varieties hold their color best throughout the seasons.

Hi Anita
Tangerine wave and marmalade are in our opinion the two best orange/red shades that hold their colour, especially if grown in a sunny position.
Hope this helps

RHS Harlow Carr Flower Show 2017

Posted on by

We are back from a lovely long weekend at RHS Harlow Carr. This is the new award we won at the RHS gardens. They start at 3 sunflowers and go to 5 sun flowers, so we are pleased the judges liked our new display! You can see the photos of us putting it together and the finished product below. We brought some cute metal bikes to include in our display and love the way it turned out.

Primula candelabra in the Harlow Carr garden were stunning. We will have some we’ve grown very soon for sale, so keep an eye on the website!

Tiarella ‘Spring symphony’ in the gardens, available on our website here if you love it as much as we do. It’s got gorgeous delicate white flowers springing up from the foliage.

Our next show is Hampton Court Palace July 4th-9th which is one of our favourite shows to go to, there’s always spectacular creative show gardens as well as specialist growers like us. Tickets are still available if you’re interested in going.
