I received a pot with 4 leaves of Heucherella Buttered Rum! They were placed in a pot with horticultural compost and regularly watered with rainwater. Today, there are only 3 leaves left and nothing seems to want to grow back! The photo on the plant's page showed a pot with many more leaves.

Description
The Heucherella 'Buttered Rum' is a recent variety with finely-cut foliage, resembling the leaves of maple trees, with red veins. Its changing colour ranges from salmon pink to very warm caramel orange in spring, then turns red at the first frost and takes on a beautiful burgundy coat in autumn. In summer, delicate clusters of white flowers emerge from the foliage. This compact perennial thrives in shade and moist soil.
Belonging to the Saxifragaceae family, Heucherella shares characteristics with its parents. Like Heucheras, it has evergreen foliage (or semi-evergreen, depending on the climate) that is highly decorative. Numerous cross-breeding efforts have preserved the most attractive traits, such as in 'Buttered Rum'. Its numerous leaves (approximately 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4in)) form an attractive clump that easily fits in front of flowerbeds, thanks to its reasonable size (30 cm (12in) by 30 cm (12in)). The lamina of the leaves is beautifully serrated, yet remains rounded, retaining its softness. Its vibrant and warm shades naturally catch the eye and gradually evolve with temperature changes. Its marbled orange color in spring gently turns reddish under the cold, taking on shades of pink-purple at the beginning of winter.
The white flowering occurs in June and July. Graceful stems bearing clusters of small bell-shaped flowers rise above the foliage, standing out distinctly. They bring a sense of lightness and delicacy to the edge of pathways and can thus take over from Primroses and Hellebores.
Like most Tiarellas and Heucheras, Heucherella prefers moist soil and semi-shaded exposures. It thrives in woodland areas and moist rockeries. It prefers a neutral, well-drained soil that is not too heavy. It requires very little maintenance. If winter has been harsh, simply trim the faded leaves.
The colours of Heucherella 'Buttered Rum' blend harmoniously in a border composed of various foliage. You will find complementary colours in the multiple palettes of its relatives. Hostas, perennial Geraniums, and ferns will provide the greens needed to create a multicolored tableau.

Planting and care
Heucherella can be planted in spring or autumn in place or in a container. It prefers shaded or semi-shaded positions and moist soil. Therefore, make sure to water it if the summer following its planting is particularly dry or mulch the base.
On the other hand, it does not tolerate scorching sun. It will tolerate sun or heat if its roots remain in moist soil.
Maintenance is limited to cleaning the foliage a little at the end of winter if it has dried out.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
