Growing & Care Tips

• Sunlight: Prefers partial shade, and Heuchera grown in hot climates prefer afternoon shade or full shade, but tolerates some morning sun.
• Soil: Well-drained, rich organic soil. Avoid waterlogged areas.
• Water Needs: Low to moderate; occasional deep watering during dry periods.
• Mulch: Spread a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the base of the plants to block weeds while keeping soil moisture consistent.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks after blooming and trim old leaves in early spring.
• Spacing: Plant 12–18 inches apart for full, lush coverage.
