Heuchera

Heucheras are foliage-led perennials with rounded leaves in green, bronze, purple, silver, caramel and lime tones, plus airy flower stems in spring and summer.

Heucheras are foliage perennials that bring colour to the lower layer of a border, with leaves ranging from lime and amber to purple, silver and near black. Their airy flower stems add extra texture without hiding neighbouring plants. Heucheras perform well in many Irish gardens, especially where soil is fertile but free draining. They tolerate some shade, but crowns can suffer in persistently wet winter soil, so good drainage improves longevity.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Heucheras perform well in many Irish gardens, especially where soil is fertile but free draining. They tolerate some shade, but crowns can suffer in persistently wet winter soil, so good drainage improves longevity.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choose heucheras primarily by foliage colour and mature size, then consider flower colour and tolerance of sun. Darker leaves often take more sun than paler or lime-coloured forms, though soil moisture still matters.

Planting and Care

Remove tired leaves in spring as fresh growth emerges and divide ageing clumps if they become woody or lift above soil level. Keep container plants watered but never permanently waterlogged.
