Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: Low-growing, clump-forming perennial. Dark green, semi-evergreen leaves are roughly kidney-shaped and mottled with light green. Bears red, pink, or white blossoms in summer on tall stalks above the plant. Many cultivars of this plant are available with varying colors of flowers and leaves.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
Special Considerations: Heucheras may respond better to having the dead foliage pulled out rather than cut back.
