Wish I had more room... Love these my Southern comfort is still geourgeous. The coloring and it is awsome in the very little light. In almost all shade. It flowers almost all season. Really looks like all of these beauties are coming back really nicely. does anyone trim off the old leaves from last year? The old ragged looking ones? Just wondering. Ronna
Hi Ronna,
Yes, I just take the garden scissors and trim off all the scraggly ragged looking leaves and then I put compost around them.
Two Sweet Tea did follow me home the other day. They are gorgeous.
I remove the old leaves as well and compost is always a good idea.
thanks.
Now that I've spent 13.00 on Southern Comfort, 1 and 1/2 gal at Lowes, Wally's world has my Caramel for 5.00. Just a quart size but that's plenty big enough. So headed over there today and they had several other beauties as well., all 5.00 each.
Southern Comfort
$5 is a great deal! What else did you get?
Before the day is out.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY (goldfinch4) I thought the name was familiar but I couldn't remember which forum. LOL
Happy Birthday goldfinch4.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Had a nice day - despite the fact I had to work. Supposed to have great weather this weekend and can't wait to get out in the gardens and play!
I think each different type have different reactions to trimming depending on where you are and the conditions. I cut my purple palace back to almost nothing in the falI. They come back a lot thicker the next year. I also clip old leaves ,but have had frosted violet react in a negative way to that. It made it take a lot longer to fill out that year. So this spring I got to looking at all those old leaves and I noticed that most of them were not completely dead. Makes me think that those leaves and stems have some function in the regeneration of the plant in the spring. Now I have just been taking the totally dead ones away as the plant regenerates. It seems to work better for me. Most of the time I do not even need to clip they pull of real easy.
I do not have to fertalize my Heuchera at all except in pots even then very lightly when I feed the grass in spring.
I think sometimes if you trim off all the scraggly stuff, even if it's not dead - then too much of the crown is exposed so then you'd have to dig it out and then reset it down into the soil deeper so as not too much crown is exposed. Or, you can do it the lazy way like me and just start putting compost up to cover the crowns. I'll see if they like that.
I bought a Midnight Rose at Lowe's the other day. Really pretty!!
Here is the most unusual colored Heuchera I have seen to date. It is starting to turn but you can stil see most of the color. It is Villosa Beaujolais. It is growing in a 20 inch pot.
Marti and Ik - Both very pretty. Nice purchase from Lowe's! Midnight Rose sure is awfully pretty. Ik- your Beaujolais is beautiful and very happy in it's pot. I think that one is another very hardy one and a sun lover! I've got mine still in it's pot it was purchased in, sitting in full sun and it just loves it, so far no change in color. One day it'll make it into the ground!
I purchased 2 Midnight Rose's yesterday from the nursery. My local HD and Lowes only have Dolce Licorice, Stoplight, Purple Place, Peach Melba and Southern Comfort. I wanted to buy Encore and Georgia Peach at the nursery (because everyone raves about these two) but fell in love with Midnight Rose. I don't know but I have this thing for the darker colored ones. The ones like Encore and Georgia Peach just looked washed out compared to the dark purples. I already have Peach melba, and Stoplight that looked good last fall but now those nothing for me with my other hostas along gate for summer color. I'm kind of wanting Rave On but only have one area which gets a lot of sun and i'm scared it would be killed. I'm trying this year to do better with watering my plants every couple of days. It is already very hot and humid in St. Louis.
