It's going to be interesting to see what colors they are. I'm so glad that he brought them to me. He said his boss also took some home because he was saving them for me.
I'm glad I taught him right, better they go to a good home then get tossed in some pile to waste.

So, my son does work outside as an assistant for laying gas lines for pools, fire pits, fire places...etc. He was telling me about a job where they had to empty this above ground planter to make it into a fire pit, they were having problems with digging since it was freezing out. They had the wrong tools, but anyways I told him to bring any plants home. He didn't think the bushes were worth anything so I told him if there were bulbs to bring them home. He just dumped a pile of bulbs on my laptop....lol Like 5, they aren't something I'm used too, I want to say they remind me of a closed water lily??? The owners didn't want any of it so it was just more freebies.

I've never had heather so I wouldn't have any clue. Though there is nothing wrong with trying using the different ways to produce roots. soil, water, hormones, honey. It would be an interesting experiment.

If I remember right after cleaning up a gals heathers that they spread or reseeded. I just went in next to the plant and took out parts with roots on them.

Well...I just counted 10 Welcomes to the group, so I'll ask a question...
Has anyone successfully propagated heathers by cuttings?
At the Seattle Garden Show, the guy who was selling heathers said it was difficult to get them to root...kind of like rhododendrons.
Is there a trick to it?
