Success Starts With Soil

A versatile perennial prized for its attractive foliage and adaptability. It features rounded, lobed leaves with a marbled or mottled appearance, ranging in color from green to purple, often with silver or dark veining. In late spring to early summer, it produces delicate, bell-shaped flowers on slender stems, typically in shades of white to pale pink. This plant's striking foliage and airy flower spikes make it a popular choice for shaded garden borders, woodland gardens, and container plantings, adding texture and color throughout the growing season.

Growing Tips for Heuchera americana

Plant it in partial shade with well-drained, humus-rich soil. While it can tolerate full sun, too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, but ensure the soil is not waterlogged to avoid root rot. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps the roots cool. Deadheading spent flowers can promote further blooming and maintain plant tidiness.
