Heucherella Sweet Tea

Place the Heucherella in full or partial shade during spring or autumn. This hardy perennial is easy to grow and thrives in good garden soil. Plant it in a light and rich, moist but well-drained soil. Leave a depth of 20 cm (8in). Space the heucherellas 30 cm (12in) apart. During winter, the heucherella renews its foliage, so it is best to cut back the leaves from the previous year between January and February. The roots have a tendency to lift, so it is necessary to mulch every year or potentially uproot and replant in September and October, placing the collar just at ground level. Ensure that the soil remains fairly moist, even during the summer heat, which can be fatal to young plants that lack water. In pots, it requires regular watering throughout the summer.
