This question was asked by
We have a small area about 6 foot by 5 foot that I would like to clear out and plant with Heucheras. It gets sun from about 10 in the morning to early afternoon. It is a raised bed so how should I prepare it. I have access to horse manure is this good for them? Should I add gravel we have good soil that seems to drain well. So which type of Heucheras should we buy and when best to plant, and how many would go in this area? Many thanks Allan Harding
Hi Allan
Sorry for late reply
We recommend 4 or 5 plants per square metre
Avoid lime colours as they need some shade
Reds, purples,oranges, Black etc most love the sun (our website tells you what do and dont so handy tool to use )
Horse manure as long as well rotted can’t do any harm
Heucheras love well drained soil but hate water logged
Hope that helps
Heuchera ‘Black Taffeta’ (1237)
