Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips for Hairy Alumroot

These new Heuchera hybrids are widely adaptable and can be grown in shade or sun. In sun they will need plenty of moisture to look their best and they really prefer protection from intense mid-day rays.

Rich organic soil with good drainage is best, but again these selections are adaptable to many conditions and will tolerate heavier soil or root competition. Wet soils are not tolerated.
