not that i dont have far to go ... but someone gave me this plant at the Arlington RU and I dont know what it is. No one answered me on the Arlington ID thread so I am hoping some one know what it is. The leaf is hairy and it appears to have red stems... its a hardy little grower and I want to know how to take care of it ... please ... help :(
I don't know what it is, but I want one!
Pattie, I put one in the back because it seem to burning in the front. I remembered your saying it might not belong there ... its still going strong, but i am wondering if it need to get out the sun.
Are you home wednesday?
No, Sylvia, I'm going to my parents' house tomorrow to finish up their beds over there. I'm not sure about Thursday.
It looks like a heuchera to me. See if this looks familiar. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/11538/
There are a number of different ones. I think they almost all need shade. You'll find a lot of them in PlantFiles if you search for Coral Bells. Hope this helps.

Crow thanks, its shaped like a Heucherra, but its not a Heucherra, the leaves feel Hairy or furry. I need to look at the Arlington pictures, maybe I can recognize the person who gave it to me. I know was man and his wife.
Looks like gunnera. You'd be able to tell pretty quickly if it is!
OMG, I hope its a Gunnera, I have been wanting one of those for years! I tried one, but it didnt make it, but this is one vigoreous plant! Kendalia, do you have one?
I found this in the plant files ... it does look like this leaf, but not the others.

Anyway if it is I need to move it from the front, because it dont take a lot of Sun ... I remember that much.

Crow may be right...look here at the Hairy Heuchera.

... maybe ... it just dont look like any of mine. If it is a Gunnera, Sheila you can have it ... because it requires a lot of space.
City, no, I haven't ever tried to plant one. I'd like to one day, though.
NO...I don't think I need one of those, just looked them up. I have two Bear's britches that I am sure will take over the rest of my shade that I don't use for hostas and ferns.
