I too have grown this from seed & some of your bigger seed companies also sell the seeds. As for the plant, I agree the amazing red, is what makes it attractive in my opinion & the foliage, ah.... it is neither here nor there.

In my opinion, the bright red flowers are the draw to this Heuchera. As for foliage, it is not one of my favorites. I did grow this from seed, so maybe as the plant ages, it will improve.

Light aids germination of seeds.

Blooms May - August in my garden.
