Heuchera Plants
Heucheras are one of those rare plants that look fantastic all year round. They have the most beautiful ruffled foliage in a rainbow of colour choices, topped with tall spires of flowers in spring and summer. Shade tolerant, disease resistant, fully hardy and suitable for borders, pots or even winter hanging baskets - what’s not to love? These really are the most versatile of plants, contrasting perfectly with other perennials or making a stunning display on their own.
Which heuchera?
There are so many heuchera colours to choose from that you’re sure to find your favourite. Co-ordinate pinks, purples and reds or vibrant marmalade shades in a border or go all out with a rainbow mix. You’d be amazed at the number of heuchera collectors there are in the UK, but when you get your first, you’ll understand - bet you can’t just plant one.
Planting schemes and partners
Low growing heucheras make an excellent groundcover plant for the front of borders or under trees, setting off taller plants like delphiniums, working as an accent plant or blending effortlessly with other foliage plants like ferns and hostas. They’re also very ornamental on their own, either planted singly in patio pots or in drifts as part of a woodland planting scheme. Beautifully low maintenance and drought tolerant once they’re established, heucheras are a great addition to your resilient plant collection.
Growing tips
Heucheras are good at telling you what they want - the more purple or more red the colour and the darker its shade, the more sun the plant should get; the more yellow-green the colour and the lighter its shade, the more shade the plant should get. Ingenious! Once planted, they’re not fussy about which soil they prefer - anything but heavy clay is fine. From spring through to autumn they like to be watered once or twice a week, but apart from that you can pretty much leave them to do their own thing.
