Heuchera 'Plum Royale'

How to grow Heuchera 'Plum Royale' in NZ

Heuchera 'Plum Royale' grows best in a position with morning sun or partial shade and moist, free draining soil enriched with organic matter. Incorporate compost into the soil before planting to improve fertility and drainage. Water regularly while the plant is establishing and maintain consistent moisture during dry periods. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged, as excessive moisture can affect root health. A sheltered location will help maintain the intense foliage colour and encourage strong growth throughout the year.

Heuchera 'Plum Royale' care tips

Heuchera 'Plum Royale' is easy to maintain and requires only basic care. Remove old or damaged leaves as required to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage fresh growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring to support healthy foliage and flowering. Water during prolonged dry weather, particularly for plants growing in containers. Mulching around the base helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Dividing mature clumps every few years will help maintain vigour and ensure ongoing strong performance.

It has a moderate growth rate and gradually develops into a dense mound of colourful foliage. Space plants around 35 to 45 centimetres apart when planting in borders or mass displays.
