Long Acre Plants Heuchera

Heuchera
Heuchera is a genus which has been developed over the last 10 years or so into a huge range of forms, that thrive in British gardens. Heuchera are very tough and will tolerate and even thrive in a semi-shaded postion, they are not pH sensitive. Heucheras are very popular due to the evergreen nature of the plants and the wealth of foliage colours that are available, so provide good foliage and Heuchera are not attacked by slugs or snails like hostas. Heuchera thive in the open ground but they also make very good plants to add to pots or raised beds, giving colour all year around. Heuchera can grow out of the ground over time and lifting and replanting deeper will re-invigorate old plants. Heuchera are remarkably pest and disease free, but vine weevil larvae will feed on unprotected roots and may need treatment.

Lastly Heuchera are resistant to the chemical Juglone produced by walnut trees to suppress vegetation beneath the canopy, so can be used in this difficult planting situation, (Cyclamen also seem to work well).

Pot size/price 9cm pots are usually £4.50 and 1 litre are £5.
