Hallson Gardens

Anyone know the name of this heuchera?


Sis-in-law shared a piece with me late last summer but didn't know the name. Soon I will have most of her Waterloo garden here in NW Iowa too. We try to go garden shopping on the same day, then call each other while out and about to compare. She is coming this weekend to pick up her new babies that I've gotten for her and likewise.

I really didn't mean to scare ya'll from this forum. Just to make amends, I am gonna go out and take a pic of two new ones I DO know the name of.

Hi Dee,

I just noticed your post

It might be Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain'. It doesn't have enough darkly colored veins to be Ring of Fire or Green Spice, I don't think...

Hi Chris!

Thanks for the id...I was beginning to get a little paranoid.

As promised...two I DO know. Here's a pic of my new 'Creme Brulee' on the left and 'Mocha Mint' on the right....just planted.

Hi Dee,
You didn't really scare me, I just have not studied Heurcheras enough to tell a lot of them apart. I am gathering some now, so I might get better at IDing them.

Thanks for the pictures. We always like to look.

I sure don't know enough either. I really like Dale's Strain. Just bought Mocha Mint...don't even have it planted yet.

I am really starting to like them alot. Since I have been looking, there are many I would love to add to my new beds. I have a 'peach melba' in another bed that was just planted out not long ago but it sure looks stressed. Hope it comes out of it.

Does not look like Green Spice.

Are you sure it's a named variety? I have many old heucheras which have leaves very similar to yours. Flower color on mine vary from pale pink to dark dark pink.

Hi Dee!!

Sorry, I missed your post, too....I sure don't want you to think we didn't care.....

Hey, if you really liking them, you should try growing from seed......I have my prettiest heuch's from seedlings I have done......I like the dark red or purple ones, and man, those do great out in the hosta beds.....There is a thread somewhere farther down that grannynanny posted on how to do them.........

I lost my Cream Bruelee...

Have fun, and I do not know what your's is......

I just saw this post too. Of course, I can never ID anything anyway so I'm not much help.
I just got Green Spice, and although it looks similar, I agree with Chris that it's not Green Spice.
And btw...Creme Brulee is one of the four I just bought last week! Such a pretty heuchera. I hope it does well for me. I'm really liking this plant too.
