Bobert, check out http://www.nc.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/soilsurvey/index.html

You can find out on-line if your property or nearby properties have had soil surveys completed, and then find the county office to visit to get a copy of the map.

I'm guessing you already know your county extension office has what you need to take and send in soil samples for testing at a reasonable fee.

Divided Mom's daylillies last fall, and thought I brought home some Stella's... to transplant.

"Sorry I dug up all your pretty peachy colored daylillies, Mom, the one's that look so good against the pink brick of your house.   They look real nice beside my blue hydrangeas, but I'll bring most of 'em back to you in the fall, and trade them out for some of the Stellas."

I love heuchera's. Talk about a versatile plant that can stand drought, heat and likes shade!
