Tiarella being eaten by something

This question was asked by
Sue S

Hi, I love tiarella but every time I try to grow them, they are eaten very quickly. I resorted to slug pellets but they were still munched. Someone told me it may be centipedes?? I am at a loss, can you help please ?
Many thanks
Sue Sweeney

Hi Sue
It won’t be slugs and snails as they don’t like them.
It could be caterpillars which can be sprayed.
They are hard to see as they are usually the same colour as the foliage
Hope this helps
Kind regards Vicky

Feeding my Heucheras

This question was asked by
Julie J

I recently visited your excellent stand at Chelsea and it said on there that heuchera grown in a pot could be fed in spring to help maintain a healthy plant. Problem is I can’t remember what you said to feed it with!! Also, should I remove some of the old soil and replace with fresh?

Hi Julie
The feed we recommend is liquid seaweed feed (like the Seasol feed we sell on our website here) and slow release pellets.
When you tidy Heuchera as top dress with fresh compost and top up once a year with slow release fertilizer.
Feed once a month with the seaweed
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Slugs and snails don’t usually like heuchera heucherella and tiarella
