#ProPlantTips for Care:
Heuchera is low-maintenance, cold and drought tolerant, and withstanding heat and humidity, nothing seems to faze this plant! But to keep Plum Royale looking its best, be sure to water in hot, dry weather, giving the plant about one inch of water per week. You can divide clumps in the fall and prune back their mounds in the early spring, and be tidied up in spring by removing any withered or tired-looking leaves. Being a herbaceous Perennial, Heuchera dies back to the ground in cold winters, though in warmer zones, can remain semi-fully evergreen year-round! Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around the base of your plant.
