I remember when it was supposed to be released that there were production delays. Then the next year I only saw it on Canada web sights, that would not ship to USA. Then for the next few years one would show up on e-bay for very high prices,do not know if any one really paid that much. It took me 5 years to get one at a price I would pay. The pink when the leaves emerge is almost a day-glow color more intense then any other heuchera I have seen,then they fade to peach and green. Pictures do not seem to catch how good the pink color is. As with French Quarter I remember reading about tissue culture problems,and that is why releases were so limited.

I do not think this one is unstable they seem to be strong good growers. The color seems to get better each year , similar to Mardi Gras & French Quarter. But if you cannot tissue culture a plant and only do it by division it is not profitable for a large company. I would recommend getting this plant as long as you do not mind the cost.

TNN probably stopped trying because they had to cull so many. I remember we ordered it and they had dropped it from production.

Thankyou Stormy and Goldfinch I think Firechief is going to be as nice as Marmalade how the colours are no wstarting to change again.

Yes I have many gardens I tend to and yes my forum is busy .

This is why I now always wait a couple of years before trying the new ones. The spring of 09 was the last time I bought 6 or 8 brand new varieties. I can't say that I found any of them to be outstanding. Of them I think that Milan has been the best performer.

Cherry Cola
Root Beer
I got these late last summer, both seem like good growers so far.

Bob, Does the Cherry Cola stay with having multiple hued leaves?

So far it seems to. I have both of these in my sun garden , so they get direct sunlight most of the day. Color might be different in a more shaded garden.

Both are nice ones. You've sure got a great collection Bob. Only bad thing is that I see all sorts of them I'd like to have now.

Within the last few weeks Terra Nova has released a few new heuchera Cajun Fire, Creole Nights, Delta Dawn & Spellbound.Delta Dawn looks like one to get. Check them out on the Terra Nova web sight.

Bob, you are such an enabler! I see Delta Dawn "Delivers the look that Heuchera 'Miracle' promised". I guess time will tell on that one. I really like Spellbound.

Just wondering if anyone has had luck with Electra, I have not seen a good one yet at any garden center they always look very weak. I like the look of them but want to see if anyone has done better in their garden.

I have Electra and love it. It's definitely prettier in cool weather. I'll try to remember to post a picture when I get home from work.

It's been a year and a half since I tried any of the new varieties. I probably have over a hundred that need dividing right now, so doubt if I'll be in the buying mode anytime soon. Of course that might change if I can't get the water at my house turned back on before the really scorching dry weather starts.

Wow Stormy, that's a lot of heurchs! I'm guessing I have 35 or so. Never really counted. Hope you get your water back on soon too.

Here is my Electra. Not a huge plant, but I like it.

Thanks for the pictures, very nice plant.I will have to get one if i can find one that looks like that or next time i do a mail order.And Stormy I hope your water situation gets fixed soon. I had a situation a few year ago we had a drought and a lot of the wells in the area were going dry and I had to haul water in for the plants NOT FUN.

Pretty sure I got that Electra from I Love Hostas last year.

Thanks, guys! That Elecktra is pretty Chris and looks very healthy. No not fun, Bob and not possible for me either. I could never hand water a third of an acre of beds.

Since my beds are so big whenever I try a new Heuch, I buy 4 or 6 of that variety and plant them in 2 different locations. that's why I am so reluctant to keep trying unproven ones. For me to try 2 new ones means 12 plants. Anything less than 3 plants just disappears in my beds. Often, I will plant as many as 6 of something in one spot. They also have to survive the maples, black walnut and voles So if I start out with 6 maybe 3 will survive, if I get lucky, sometimes 4 or 5 will.

Wow Stormy, I would love to see your gardens! Sure sounds like a lot of work though.

It is that Chris!
