How to Grow and Care for Heuchera 'Amber Waves'

Growing and caring for Heuchera 'Amber Waves' is relatively easy, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned gardeners and beginners. Here are a few key tips to ensure your plant thrives:

Location and Light Requirements

Heuchera 'Amber Waves' prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cool-summer regions. It thrives in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage and ensure the best performance.

Watering and Maintenance

Water your Heuchera 'Amber Waves' regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, it will require less frequent watering. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Apply a layer of mulch around the plant to conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.

Regularly remove any faded flowers and damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage new growth. Divide older plants every few years to promote vigor and prevent overcrowding.

Fertilizing and Feeding

Heuchera 'Amber Waves' benefits from a light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid heavy applications or using fertilizer high in nitrogen, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth and reduced flowering.

Pest and Disease Control

Heuchera 'Amber Waves' is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it's always a good practice to monitor your plant for any signs of trouble. If you notice any issues, consult with a local garden center or horticulturist for appropriate remedies.
