Heuchera Blackout

Prepare a planting hole of 20 cm (8in) x 20 cm (8in) x 20 cm (8in). If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the prepared soil, partially fill the hole and place your plant (after removing the pot) so that the top of the plant's root ball is covered with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Adding a slow-release fertilizer e.g. bonemeal will nourish your plant during its rooting period without the risk of burning. Firmly tamp down the soil and water generously to eliminate air pockets. If the weather is dry, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate the establishment of your plant. In late winter, heucheras renew their foliage, so we recommend cutting back the previous year's leaves in January or February.
