Specific Heuchera in Northeastern IL/South WI

16 years ago

I am looking for the variety of Heuchera, "Snow Angel", or even similar varieties such as Hercules, Monet, Spangles, Hailstorm, etc. I was hoping not to have to resort going online, but I can't seem to find any of these varieties anywhere. Been calling around too. I've been to Steins, Gurnee Garden Center, Home Depot, Walmart, Mileagers, etc. No luck. Now Steins has a plant finder on their website, and it lists Snow Angel, and you can print it out to take in to the store, so hopefully they will be getting it in, and it just being too early or something. I am going to be bugging them with a visit each week, lol. I live in northeastern IL. I wondered if anyone has seen any of these varieties anywhere?? Thanks!

If you're up for a drive, I know that Flower Factor (Stoughton, Wi) carries Hercules, and probably a few of the others. Be sure to morgage your house before you go...the place is huge!

There is a lady in West Allis who is selling Heuchera. I don't know if its the same variety you are looking for, but she has it listed on Craigslist.

I can't link it here for you, but if you are interested, send me an email and I can send you the link.

Check for when the Hosta Society has their sales. They often sell unusual, hard to find huecherras too.

I saw some 'Snow Angel' at Shady Acres (in New Berlin, WI) a couple of weeks ago...

Do you have a Menards near you? I actually saw (and bought) the lone 'Snow Angel' they had in stock at a nearby Menards a few days ago. (I don't think they carry it at all of the locations though.)

Thanks! I may see about making a trip to Shady Acres in a couple days after I call to see about the availability. I will also check Menards before!!

Well, I did find my "Snow Angel" at Green Acres, a small nursery on the corner of Green Bay (131) and K in Kenosha. I always wanted to stop there to look and said what the heck, and sure enough there it was. I was excited and the lady working there probably thought I was nuts!
