  • Heuchera seeds

    Having a walk round some GC and nurseries recently heuchera plants have taken my fancy and as I have never came across any seed for sale in the past I was wondering if anyone could tell me if you can get the same variety of plants from seed as is available in the GCs
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

    The named varieties won't usually come true from seed.
    It's also just easier to take cuttings. They root really easily from cuttings.

      Don't know how easy to raise from seed, but a £3 packet of hybrids from Chiltern is less than half of what plant would cost and could be fun.

        ameno I note that you just joined the Vine this year so are possibly unaware that I am in a perpetual state of being skint, or possibly to be more accurate I dislike parting with money, hence the reason for asking about seeds, they are cheaper and now that I have got a source for seeds from Danny i might give them a try
        Oh and if I do buy the seeds and get some good plants I will sell some to you, cheap

          I'm going to try and save seeds from mine - they're both flowering. Do you want some seeds Rary?

            Yes please Sarriss Ameno has said they may not come true from seed but then I don't really need named variety just colourful ones, once you have them let me know and I will pm my address

                It's my first year owning heucheras at all, so no self seeding yet.

                The one with the flowers at the moment, Rary, have dark purple leaves with light pink flowers - very pretty and clearly loving my very dark corner at the back of the house The seeds aren't ready yet - I checked today, but I reckon it won't be long. I'll let you know!
