Maintenance
Depending on the species some will produce a prodigious amount of flower scapes and these should be deadheaded. I prefer to gently remove the dead leaves in the spring. Gently is the key word since some Heuchera do not produce stout clumps and pieces are easily broken off. Heuchera tend to frost heave, a mulch will help prevent this. Gently pushing the plants back into the ground in the spring is a good practice. Rejuvenation by division may be need as the plants get older and form thick heavy stems at the base of the plant
Propagation
division of the clump
Cultivar Origin
Originates as a seedling of Amber Waves from Terra Nova Nursery in 2004.
Author's Notes
To me the jury is still out on this plant. I have tried twice with little success but have talked to people that have no problem growing this Heuchera cultivar.
