Heuchera 'Berry Smoothie'

#heuchera #alumroot #heuchera-berry-smoothie

@gjones thanks Katy 😀 it’s a little flat now the winds have torn it to shreds but captured it, badly, just in time 😂

@columbiariver thanks Laura 😃 it was loaded with flowers and bees 😛

Hard to beat a huchera so many colours to choose from 😍

@columbiariver even if some are a little too big to be landing on such tiny flowers 🤣

@alan1111 they’re great value in the garden aren’t they! ❤️

@columbiariver thank god they are! 🤣🐝

Twelve months of the year their excellent plants mine finish flowering months ago how come yours are. Your right about the bees 😂

@alan1111 exactly! They’re pretty much the only colour in winter and love them for it 😍 this one was really slow to get going this year so the flowers are much later than the others

Oh yeah, the winter they really come into their own hard tó beat

Great photo

It would nearly make you want a frost every morning 😜

@laketitlow thanks Annette 😁

@alan1111 nearly! 🤣 not quite enough though 🥶

😂

Hi @kez001uk lt looks like snow, but pretty in the photo. ❄☃️ Stay warm, and don't catch cold. We got some rain here yesterday.

@newbud thank you 😁 no snow yet but had a few pretty frosts 🤩 I saw you’d had rain, and looked like quite a lot too! ☔️

The bees love the heucheras don't they. 🐝🐝

Bee's and heuchs a match made in heaven!💘😍

@lilybee they certainly do! I love watching them cling on to the bending stalks 😂

@ShelleySnyder they seem to live on them when they’re in bloom 😛

Yep!! Bee's are crazy for heuchs!💘😍

#foliagefriday

Fabulous! I just got this one!💘😍

Wow..💗

@ShelleySnyder it’s an eye catching one 😋 heuchera twins 😉

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you Elaine ☺️ it’s my favourite and needs dividing but I’m too scared I’ll kill it 🙈🤣

Oh no don’t...🤭

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom I did it with my marmalade one and now only have one tiny cutting left that I’m praying will grow 🤣 16 cuttings and the frost killed all but 1 🙈

Kerry just leave the mother plant where it is and gently pull away the little baby plantlets that are growing . Repot these and they should all be good . Spring through to summer is the best time to do this @kez001uk

@lovemygarden65 thank you for the advice Marilyn ☺️ I completely cut apart the other one and don’t think I left enough root on any. Plus the surprise frosts we had wrecked any chance they had. Managed to keep one tiny plantlet so hope that’ll make it 🤞🏻 I’ll give it another go with your advice, at least I’ll always have the mother plant then 😁 thank you again 😛

@gjones thank you katy 😊 it stands out amongst all the green ❤️

Still flowering ❤️

I seen these for sale, but didn't go for them. I used to have a wonderful one in the front garden. I'm going to get two, you've sold them to me!

@Froggy45 😂 this place is a danger! It’s a really lovely one though. It’s usually much more red but sat in the shade has dulled it a bit

👍👍👍

@ublaszko thank ya Urszula

This is gorgeous!

@Yollymac isn’t it! 😛 look so delicate and dainty, and bees looooove them 🐝🐝🐝

Yes! I have a purple one in my garden - I don’t think it’s that happy though as I haven’t seen it flower that I can remember.

@Yollymac I’ve had these a little over a year and the first year only one flowered so not sure how reliable they are. I did however move them all into full sun so maybe that’s helped them to flower 🤷🏼‍♀️ just love that they brighten up the winter garden with their gorgeous foliage ❤️ I hope you get yours to flower, am intrigued to see what it’ll look like 😁

Thanks for the tips. Being a succulent-mama only, I am clueless with the rest - so every bit of help is appreciated! 💗

@Yollymac yay! I may have been useful on here for the first time! 😂 I don’t know much about plants at all but am learning 😛 I read that most heuchera like sun apart from green leaved varieties. And your succulents always look amazing, you and @KelsiBriana have some beautiful ones!

@KelsiBriana thank you 😊 I’m quite fond of my heucheras. One of the few plants that are of year round interest so I pay a bit more attention to them 😂 I can only imagine how beautiful your garden will be based on how gorgeous your succulents are!

@KelsiBriana I’m happy to hear that ☺️

@gjones they look dainty but quite amazing how long they last 😛

Lovely

Kids do these flower they are in my dads garden

They do. They shoot up spikes of tiny white flowers 😊 (scroll back a couple of photos and can see them)
