Heuchera in z5??

15 years ago

Hello,

I would like to WS heuchera (coral bells) this year.

Can someone tell me if this is doable in zone 5? And when to sow?

I looked at the database at wintersown.org and there is a Y (Yes????)for this in zone 5 but no time to sow.

Thanks so much for your help.

Blessings,

Dea W.

Hi Dea,
I looked at my list and I planted 5 varieties
on the 18th 0f January and 4 of them did good. The
Ruby Bells didn't make it. I planted them on 6/15 and
they were still small.
