Woody stems in heuchera

Before buying more heuchera need to know what to do with woody root spurs I’ve only just noticed, and wiry root system at end – dangling and looking parched, if not dead. Any simple advice please.

Hi William
Heucheras can go woody (which is what you have described)
Easy to sort out …
Just plant deeper ..don’t bury the crown, only the woody stem.
Give it a feed this stimulates new growth
Hope this helps
Kind regards

I have a small border 2m x 40cm, below a bay window. It gets sun until about 11am then mostly shade.
I have dug out and refilled with loam/John Innes and will be planting through fabric with gravel overlay.
I would like to plant heucheras but not sure which to get.

Hi jan

As it’s in shade for the hottest part of the day but not dark you can choose any you like.
You will need about 6
Some nice varieties are
Heuchera
Forever purple
Forever red
Paris
Sweet caroline
Electra
Binoche
Cool dude
Sugar plum
Here are a few suggestions
Hope this helps
Kind regards vicky
