| Maintenance | Depending on the species, some will produce a prodigious amount of flower scapes, which should be deadheaded. I prefer to remove the dead leaves in the spring gently. Gently is the keyword since some Heuchera do not produce stout clumps, and pieces are easily broken off. Heuchera tends to frost heave, and a mulch will help prevent this. Gently pushing the plants or digging them into the ground in the spring is a good practice. Rejuvenation by the division may be needed as the plants get older and form thick heavy stems at the base of the plant |
