How to grow Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice' in NZ

Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice' grows best in a position with morning sun or partial shade and moist, free draining soil enriched with organic matter. Prepare the planting area with compost to improve soil structure and fertility. Water regularly while the plant is establishing and maintain even moisture during dry periods.

A sheltered location helps maintain attractive foliage colouring and encourages strong growth throughout the year.

Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice' care tips

Heuchera 'Peppermint Spice' requires only simple maintenance to remain healthy and attractive. Remove old or damaged leaves as needed to encourage fresh growth and keep the plant looking tidy. Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring to support healthy foliage development 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 helps maintain vigour and ensures continued strong garden performance.
