Heuchera Mint Julep

Grow Heuchera Bronze Beauty in full sun or partial shade. If you want to grow it in shade, place it in a moist area. Plant the heuchera in a light, fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Good garden soil is perfect. For planting, prepare a planting hole of 20cm (8in) x 20 cm (8in) x 20cm (8in). If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the crumbled soil, partially fill the hole and place your plant (after removing the pot) in the hole so that the top of the plant's root ball is covered with 3cm (1in) of soil. Adding a slow-release fertilizer (bonemeal) will nourish your plant during its rooting period without the risk of burning. Firm the soil and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. If the weather is dry, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate the establishment of your plant. Heucheras renew their foliage in late winter, so we recommend cutting back the leaves from the previous year in January or February. The woody stump tends to raise up from the ground, so apply a mulch every year. If necessary, dig up and replant the clumps from September to October, making sure the collar is level with the ground, or replace the plants.
