Does anyone recognize this heuchera?

Probably a common one, hoping that someone here knows which cultivar this is (pic below). Don't know what color the flowers are or anything else yet.

I see you're taking pictures! Good!

Looks like this forum isn't busy anymore unfortunately. Probably people moved on to Facebook.

About 4 years ago someone gave me cuttings of their heuchera. I have been able to identify 3 out of four of them, but it took some time. So maybe in more time you will know the name of the one you have.

Heuchera are so changable. So you need pictures in each season to help with identification. Also they can vary depending on how much sun/shade they get. Caramel is one I have and I was almost shocked to see how it looked with more sun. Beautiful! But where I planted it, it didn't get much sun so the coloring wasn't as attractive and made it more difficult to ID. What a beauty with more sun!

I wish this forum was more active. I prefer it over Facebook.

Looks nice! But can't help you on an ID. Would be helpful to see a more mature specimen and the flowers.

If it just appeared spontaneously I’d say it’s Winter Creeper, Euonymus fortunei, although that id would be predicated upon its having opposite foliage, which isn’t possible to see from the pictures. It is definitely not Box and I have no idea what Globe Myrtle is.

I had the wrong species name for my plant, it is Vernonia noveboracensis. You must have the cultivar Vernonia lettermanii 'Iron Butterfly '. It's a clone of a selection that was shorter and more compact than the species. Any seedlings from your Iron Butterfly will be taller and slightly different than the plant you purchased. It's a good idea to cut the plant back early in the season so it won't flop. If they aren't cut back they can flop and become a doughnut shape. I cut my plant back severely 1 time this year, but I could have done it a second time, it still grew to about 4 feet, but is bushy enough to not flop. Vernonia species will hybridize easily, so it's possible the wild one can hybridize with yours, but I wouldn't worry about it, you might end up with some beautiful hybrids. This is where wild Vernonia lettermanii grows, in novaculite rock along a river running though mountains in Arkansas and Oklahoma. They grow out of cracks in the rocks and sometimes get flooded, so they need good drainage, but can handle periodic flooding. Iron butterfly should do well in regular garden soil, so they claim. The Chicago Botanical Garden did a comparative study of different Vernonia cultivars including Iron Butterfly. Photos by the amazing Adam Black

Gabana? https://www.stonecontact.com/gabana-quartzite/s20019 Australian Fusion? https://www.stonecontact.com/products-551747/australian-fusion Half of the beige quartzites I googled had all these different name, but they all looked like some version of Taj Mahal! Who knows how they classify the ones that look similar?

Makes sense, thank you! I just got a bunch of pics of the mother plant :) I don't see any of the green on mine that these pics are showing of the momma. But I also can't tell if mine is red or purple...sometimes it looks one way to me and sometimes another(?).

I wonder if any of the readers here might be more likely to find heuchera posts if they were lumped in with perennials? Years ago (on Garden Web) when the heuchera forum was first formed it seemed like a good idea, but the initial momentum hasn't continued. I’m sure lots of gardeners grow a few heucheras but perhaps not enough to attract them to a dedicated forum.

Thank you both! I usually post in multiple forums on here, but must have forgotten to this time, so just made the change. I did post on FB too, about a couple of weeks ago, but no responses thus far.

Check out some online photos of "Plum Pudding" and see if it seems like a match.

Nice looking plant and what a lovely garden gift from a friend.

Thank you both!! My eye is so untrained that I'm not noticing those subtle differences between them yet. Both Plum Pudding and Frosted Violet, as well as a Mulberry I saw on FB, look like possibilities to me!

I have a Frosted Violet and a Plum Pudding. Looks more like Plum Pudding to me.
