About this product
Heuchera 'Indian Summer' (Mixed Varieties)
1.5 Litre Pot
Plant Highlights: Colourful evergreen foliage in a range of warm tones • Compact, tidy habit • Delicate summer flower spikes • Ideal for borders, containers and shaded gardens
Overview
This mixed selection of Heuchera 'Indian Summer' offers a beautiful range of evergreen foliage colours that provide year-round interest in the garden. Leaf colour varies depending on the variety supplied and may include rich shades of amber, bronze, lime, peach, red or burgundy, creating striking contrasts in borders and patio containers.
Grown primarily for their decorative foliage, these compact perennials also produce slender stems topped with small, airy flowers during summer, adding movement above the colourful leaves. They are excellent for brightening partially shaded borders but are equally at home in sunny positions where the soil remains evenly moist.

Plant in partial shade or full sun. In sunnier positions, maintain even soil moisture to keep the foliage looking its best.
Watering
Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells, particularly for container-grown plants.
Soil
Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged during winter.
Maintenance
Remove any damaged or tired leaves in late winter or early spring before fresh growth appears. Cut back spent flower stems after flowering to keep plants neat.
