Heuchera 'Milan'

How to grow Heuchera 'Milan' in NZ

Heuchera 'Milan' grows best in a position with morning sun or partial shade and moist, free draining soil rich in organic matter. Improve the planting area with compost before planting to encourage healthy root development and strong growth. Water regularly while the plant is establishing and maintain even soil moisture during dry periods. Avoid areas that remain waterlogged, as poor drainage can affect plant health. A sheltered location helps preserve foliage quality and encourages prolific flowering.

Heuchera 'Milan' care tips

Heuchera 'Milan' is easy to maintain and requires only simple care. Remove old or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant tidy and encourage fresh growth. Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring to support healthy foliage and abundant flowering. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly for container grown plants. Removing spent flower stems helps maintain appearance and may encourage additional blooms. Dividing mature clumps every few years will help maintain vigour and keep plants performing strongly.
