Are there any Heucheras that will tolerate sun most of the day

thank you

Hi Michael
Any purple, black, plum, red, orange, heucheras love the full sun so that should help you choose
If on the website you click the more info button on each product it takes you through to another info pages if you need to double check sometimes that helps a lot
It gives you the the height, width,position, and how they grow best etc

Hope this helps
Kind regards

Planting Tips : Keeping Huecheras in Pots Healthy

Posted on by

These pictures show what to do to keep heucheras in pots looking good and keep them going for years!

Every 3 to 5 years or whenever you notice they are getting a bit stalky, just tidy all the foliage off. Clear out the leaves and debris from around the crowns.

Then if you want it to go back in the same pot, chop a bit off the bottom of the roots about 1 to 2 inches if they are not too stalky picture 6.

Picture 7 just rake the sides a little to encourage the roots to grow (dont go mad!) I like to shamfer the flat top of the root ball, as you can see in picture 9. This gets rid of seeds and weeds that may be on the top and leaves more room to add some nice fresh compost with a teaspoon of slow release feed per pot (keep a look out as we will be selling this soon).

Then put back into post with small amount of compost at the bottom.and top dress on the top making sure not to bury the crown, only the stalks. Then water and make sure the water comes out of the bottom of the pot. Little feet under the pots are good for this.

Hi Geraldine
It has been a couple of years since we had it.
Sadly we are not allowed to propagate this variety as it has a PBR which we don’t own the rights to.
I do keep trying to get it by ordering the plug plants from labs that do have the rights.
However nothing has come of our 2019 order yet. First of all they said it was coming and now I’ve heard nothing.
There is still time and I will tbe chasing it it up regularly.
This is the problem with many of the ‘out of stock’ varieties.
I could sell loads if I could get them so don’t worry I will always be on the case (it’s in my interests as well as yours) it’s very frustrating!
I can’t even offer you a substitute as there isn’t anything quite like it ..its a beautiful variety.
Sorry once again
Fingers crossed I find some soon
Kind regards vicky

Hi
Is there any way to get rid of the dreaded Ground Elder in a border which is established with lovely plants?
I try to dig out and carefully ease but it is an endless task.
Any suggestion that might help please.

Thanking you
Jill

Hi jill
I am sorry I don’t have any magic cure or magic tricks sadly.
But here is a link to the RHS advise concerning ground elder.
Hope this helps
Keep up the good work
I know it can be done as my neighbour had trouble years ago and followed rhs advise and now has no problems.
Good luck x
