Growing Tips for Heuchera longiflora
Grows best in organically rich, moist, well-drained soils. Grows well in full sun in the northern part of its range but needs afternoon shade in southern areas. Remove stems of faded flower to encourage continued bloom. In cold winter climates, winter mulch applied after the ground freezes helps prevent root heaving. Divide clumps in spring every 3-4 years to keep plants vigorous.
