| I was looking at the plant list for the wholesale nursery not too far away that sells retail as well. While checking out the heuchera listings, 'Magnum' caught my eye - not because of the color but because of the leaf size- check out the link below... I'm not keen on the color of it in those pictures but love the leaf size. I've been thinking lately that the breeders should focus on increasing leaf/clump size. I'm going to try to go look at it this week and maybe find a place for it just to see how it does - and hope the breeders come up with a deep purple one the same size! As a bonus, the nursery's listing included several of the Mammoth mums, so hopefully I can pick up some or those at the same time.... |

| I picked up a 'Magnum' this afternoon. A this point, the leaves on the one I bought are not unusually large - there were some with larger leaves there but I figured it might be best to get a smaller plant and let it settle in. I like the color at this stage but it's clearly going to get the silver cast to the leaves as the summer progresses so the color will wash out.... I think I'll plant it in the driveway border to see how it performs before deciding if that will be its final position. It'll be easy to keep it watered there when it needs it. I would think that the large leaves might mean it'll need more water than normal ones. |

| It looks pretty 'beefy'--nice choice. |
