| Thanks ladyrose. I forgot to say that I also have joe pye weed germination. I hope they'll make it fine in our area. :) |

| Congratulations on raising your seeedlings. I am just going to add a note of caution, though. I have done this before on this forum and got my head bitten off, but I think it is important for people to realise that if you sow seed from a named cultivar or hybrid which is normally propagated vegetatively, e.g. 'Blue Moon' Wisteria, you will not necessarily get a plant like its parent. You might get a great plant but be prepared for something different. |

| Thanks. About this Wisteria, the seeds came from a GW friend who lives in zone 4. He's had this wisteria for almost 5 years now and if I remember correctly, it bloomed the second year. He also said that he's not seen any invasive characteristics of this vine. Oh, I will be training it as a tree and then have clematis crawl on it. :) |

| I am always surprised when I can get heuchera to germinate and they start out so tiny! I've had good luck potting them up in 4" pots, giving them a nice partial shade home for the summer close to the hose and then plant them out in the fall. The ones I planted last fall in the beds have come back many different color variations in the leaves - so pretty. Some redddish, some grayish, some greenish with silver veins. I couldn't see these differences when they were babies, but you really do the second year. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| I have 8 different heucheras sprouting this year. I had good luck with them last year as well and they are doing fine out in the garden. I can't get enough of these little beauties. |

| where should I transplant my heucheras, on a shady area? I have one near the base of RedTwig Dogwood and it's 2 years old. It's in the north side and it's not growing well. It's small about 4-5 inches in diameter. I think that's small for a 2+ year old heuchera. |
