Water: Heuchera hybrid is drought-resistant once established, requiring infrequent watering—generally not in fall or winter. During summer dry spells, provide about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water weekly. Water early in the morning at the base to prevent sun scorching, and adjust for container plants.

Fertilize: The heuchera hybrid does not require heavy fertilization but benefits from mulch and a spring application of fish, blood, and bone. Avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers to prevent rot, and use all-purpose or slow-release fertilizers for container plants.

Pruning: In spring, remove dead or damaged leaves from heuchera hybrid to promote vibrant new growth. Deadhead faded flower stalks for extended blooms. Avoid late fall pruning of leaves, as they store vital nutrients. Additionally, eliminate woody stems to redirect energy towards new growth.

Propagation: Propagate heuchera hybrid through division every 3-4 years in early fall, ensuring each section has 2-3 rosettes. Maintain 10 inches apart and mulch after planting. Alternatively, take cuttings in early summer, treat with rooting hormone, and plant in a peat-sand mix, rooting in 3-4 weeks.
