What soil type is best?

Troubleshooting
Leaf color appears faded
Ensure the plant is receiving sufficient light; while tolerant of shade, deep red varieties often require more sun to maintain peak pigment intensity.
Plant looks sparse or elongated
This is often a sign of insufficient light or the need for seasonal pruning to encourage denser, tighter growth.
Yellowing leaves at the base
Check soil moisture levels to ensure the plant is not sitting in water, as this can lead to root stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To establish your Heuchera, choose a well-draining spot in your garden or a container with drainage holes. While it adapts to most soils, incorporating organic matter at planting can improve long-term vigor. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintenance involves routine deadheading of spent flower stalks to keep the plant tidy. If the plant becomes straggly, pruning back older leaves in the spring encourages a fresh flush of growth. Our nursery staff performs ongoing maintenance, so your plant may arrive freshly pruned to ensure it remains healthy and resilient upon arrival.
