Robert Koehne (April 1971-September 2014) Bob was a good, personal friend and very enthusiastic gardener – perennially cheerful. He loved his wife and two children and daylily breeding. These daylilies are his “children” too. He bred them, named them, and registered this with the American Daylily Society. He named this after his siter Ann’s dog. He died of colon cancer too soon – before he could grow grey with Darby or see his kids or his daylilies grow up. We are growing on his daylilies. The proceeds go to his family.

Small pink bells surround top 6” of the wiry, erect stems in late spring-mid-early-summer.
Size: 12-18” x 6-8”
Care: part shade in moist to moist well-drained soilI do not know which Heuchera this is. This was growing here when we moved here around 1995. We bought the property from spry 93-year-old Anne Patterson, “for sale by owner.” I cannot imagine that she was buying new plants in her 90’s so I’m making an educated guess that it is at least 40 years old. It does not set seed, not unusual for a hybrid. But we like it so much that we’ve divided it several times over the last couple of years to make enough to sell. Try as I might, I cannot identify it but I’ve narrowed it down to a hybrid called brixoides, of which there are innumerable different selections. I’ve named it ‘Caldwell” for the crossroads where our nursery is located, originally named for the 1st settlers, Joseph and Sara Caldwell c. 1860.
