Delta Dawn - 2.99 Santa Rosa
Obsidian - 2.99 Santa Rosa
Kassandra - 2.99 Santa Rosa
Circus - 2.99 Santa Rosa
Tiramisu - 2.99 Santa Rosa
Caramel - 5.00 My local Nursery

So that adds up to approx $30.00 I am done for the season for Heucheras unless I see something that others in my zone post that has been hardy in their garden and I find it for less than 5.00.

This is not bad for my budget for annuals. I have not brought any annuals which is normal for me. For color in my patio pots I use tropical plants that I winter indoors and use every year.

The only annual I buy every year is 2 6 packs of purple petunias because I like the fragrance.

I have to buy them cheap now Bob. I do not care if they are common, old, or new. I am looking for the one's that survive and I am determined not to let the breeders drain me dry with their high price of the new pretty color that die over the winter. I am done with that process. My new goal is for color and survival.

Purple Palace surprises me in my garden. I often wonder if nurseries do not know what they have so they put the name PP on the pot. I have 3 of them and have had for years and they all look different. Hilarious!
