Product description
Heuchera Fire Chief is a dense, clump forming, evergreen hardy perennial with attractive bright red leaves that darken to wine-red through the Summer, turning browner in Autumn. They are topped by wiry, red stems bearing open panicles of pretty , bicoloured pink and white flowers, which appear from Spring all the way through to Autumn.
This glowing and perpetual flowering plant looks fantastic in sunny borders and containers. Very easy to grow and thrives well in full sun and if the soil is kept moist it will also tolerate a shadier position.

Instructions
Top Tip
Heuchera plants thrive with a layer of mulch to retain moisture and keep the roots cool during hot weather.
How to Water
Heuchera prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering as they don't like soggy conditions. Water at the base to prevent leaf disease.
How to Plant
Plant Heuchera in well-drained soil. Choose a spot with partial to full shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, and cover the roots with soil. Space plants 30-45cm apart for good air circulation.
