First of all, I rarely post on this forum and have NEVER to my knowledge posted about Terra Nova before. Let alone ganged up with Gardengal to "rattle" about them. I run into Gardengal on many forums because we seem to have similar interests but I've never met her nor emailed with her though I'd like to. I usually post on Clematis and Northwestern Gardening though I visit many other forums occasionally. I was stunned to see someone criticizing Terra Nova which was done in the first post. To me Dan Heims is a local garden celebrity and hero to plant collectors everywhere. I have no knowledge of how long they trial their plants and no knowledge of their plants not doing well in other zones. I certainly am not admitting anything or modifying my defense rattle in any way because I haven't participated in any discussions about Terra Nova in the past. I have dozens of Terra Nova cultivars in my garden and don't have any problems with them other than Autumn Blush corepsis which I've killed twice. I do have an online friend who is in the garden design business in NY and she loves Terra Nova plants too. I do not work for Terra Nova, I was a florist for twenty three years and now sell gifts and home decor wholesale to stores. I have talked to Dan Heims once on the phone because I was interested in hiring one of his former employees. That is the extent of my personal contact with him. He gave her an excellent reference and I did hire her and she was an excellent employee but Terra Nova wasn't a big part of our conversations. I have toured their display garden twice as part of an open garden tour here called Le Tour des Plants in the fall. It is an amazing garden.

Heuchera or Coral Bells genus of Saxifragea family. I have 65 species of Heuchera's as well as many of the Hybrids including the Tiarella's. I started collecting them 2 1/2 years ago, it's getting harder to find ones, I don't have... I have gone as far as revamping a big flower bed just to include additional Heuchera's! We also have have a big display of them in Flower pots just as you enter our back yard many differant colors, people are surprised to see how many colors they have. I like them because of the foliage color almost all season long! Dividing them in the early spring gives you more plant to share with other people. I like to share them with friends and family. Happy Heuchera Hunting! Fellow HeucheraAlochollics! If you like you can e-mail me on questions about Heuchera's.

I've already ordered! I'm getting a Heucherella & a Tirella too! I've order from them in the past with good luck. Haven't tried their new coco-pots. I don't care for the price increase with these larger starts. Penny

Got 3 of these, Magnum. Finally did a little research on these, the leaves are supposed to be 10" in diameter. A season or two should tell if the leaves really do get that big. Sherry
