Heuchera Lime Rickey

Prepare a planting hole measuring 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm (8 in x 8 in x 8in). If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the crumbled soil, partially fill the hole, and place your bucket (after removing the pot) so that the top of the plant's root ball is covered with 3 cm (1 in) of soil. Adding a slow-release fertiliser (dried blood or crushed horn) will nourish your plant during its rooting period without the risk of burning. Firm 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 encourage the establishment of your plant. The woody stump tends to emerge from the soil, so mulch every year. Heucheras renew their foliage in late winter, so we recommend cutting back the previous year's leaves in January or February.
