Elaine Williams

Hi Elaine
Pleased you love them.
So ….
Any reasonable well drained soil
Don’t over feed ..we sell loos poo Heuchera feed and slow release which are perfect.
Pale leaves need more shade
Dont like being water logged
Dont cut back in the autumn wait for spring to tidy them up
Use nematodes in August and September to help to keep the vine weevils away
Hope that helps
Kind Regards Vicky

I would really like your advice as I have had a group of Tiarellas (in the shade) for a number of years. Should I cut them down and feed them(? what with) to give them a fresh start. WHAT DO YOU ADVISE FOR A GENERAL FEED FOR THEM AND WHEN?
COULD YOU ADVISE THE BEST ONES FOR SHADE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

Hi Anne
Tidy up old tatty foliage but leave the rest as they will be coming up to flower soon.
Plants for shade ..
Any lime green or gold Heuchera even ones with a little lime green on the foliage, all Heucherella and Tiarella.
The feed we recommend in the Heuchera Heucherella and Tiarella feed see attached link
Hope that helps

Please can you tell me how often I should feed Heucheras that are in containers. Thank you Sheila

Hi Sheila
Once a year with slow release feed
Then up to once a month with something like the feed we sell Lou’s poo during the growing season
Generally don’t over feed.
Hope that helps
