Overview and Description

Heuchera 'Orangeberry' is a striking evergreen perennial bred for its vibrant, sunset-toned foliage and elegant, upright habit.

Compact and tidy, it’s ideal for containers, borders, or as ground cover in shaded areas.

Watering, Feeding & Seasonal Maintenance

Watering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish roots

• Once established, moderately drought-tolerant, but prefers consistent moisture

• In containers, check soil moisture regularly, especially during warmer months

Feeding

• Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth

• Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause excessive soft growth and reduce colour vibrancy

• A top-dressing of compost or leaf mould once per year is beneficial

General Care

• Remove dead or damaged leaves in early spring to tidy up and stimulate new foliage

• In colder climates, mulch lightly to protect roots from frost heave

• Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring or autumn to rejuvenate and increase stock

• Cut flower stems back after blooming to maintain a neat appearance
