Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring or fall for best results
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth and air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil with good organic matter

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply when first planted, allowing the soil to dry between waterings
  • - Once established, Heuchera is relatively drought-tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can reduce leaf color intensity

Pruning and Training:

  • - Remove spent flower spikes to tidy the plant and encourage new blooms
  • - Cut back damaged or dead foliage in late winter or early spring to promote fresh growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Heuchera is generally pest-free but can occasionally attract vine weevils; monitor and treat if needed
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late spring through summer, with delicate, bell-shaped flowers on slender stems
