How to Care for Heuchera americana 'Marvelous Marbles'
Soil and Watering
Plant your Heuchera americana 'Marvelous Marbles' in well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH level. Maintaining adequate soil moisture is crucial as this cultivar prefers consistently moist, but not waterlogged, conditions. Applying mulch around the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.
Light Requirements
Heuchera americana 'Marvelous Marbles' thrives in partial shade or dappled sunlight. It can withstand full shade, but its foliage color might not be as vibrant. Consider planting it under trees, near taller perennials, or on the east or north side of your home to provide the ideal lighting conditions.

Pest and Disease Control
Heuchera americana 'Marvelous Marbles' is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, keeping the plants properly spaced and maintaining good airflow can help prevent issues such as powdery mildew or crown rot. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of foliar diseases or damage caused by pests, and take appropriate measures if necessary.
