Description | Key Lime Pie Heuchera (Heuchera) |
---|---|
Plant Type | Perennials Hardy, Site author's observations |
Sunlight | half day morning sun, part sun, may burn in full sun, needs some light to brighten up the foliage color |
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 keyword since 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. This may be needed as the plants get older and form thick heavy stems at the base of the plant |
