In the South, I would recommend planting heuchera in sites that provide morning sun with afternoon shade and well-drained soils. When established, heuchera are quite drought tolerant.

After flowers have all faded in summer I remove the flower stems. In late winter, before new growth begins to emerge, I remove any faded or damaged foliage.

I fertilize heuchera in early spring with a well-balanced, slow-release flower food.

Wet soil can be a problem for the roots of heuchera. Well-drained but moist soil is appreciated. From time to time insects might damage a leaf or two. Just remove the damaged leaf and new leaves will sprout.
