Care Instructions

Light

Heucheras thrive in partial to full shade, making them ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, or areas with filtered sunlight. They can tolerate some morning sun but prefer protection from the harsh midday and afternoon heat.

Watering

These plants prefer consistently moist soil, but be careful not to overwater. Heucheras do not like soggy conditions, so ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Water regularly during dry spells, especially when planted in containers.

Soil

Heucheras grow best in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. They appreciate fertile soil, so adding organic matter like compost will help improve drainage and provide nutrients.

Temperature

Heucheras are hardy in USDA zones 4–9, thriving in a range of climates, including cooler regions. They are well-suited for spring and fall planting in temperate areas.

Plant Dimensions

• Height: Grows to a mature height of 10–18 inches, depending on the variety.
