Feeding heucheras

I feed all my plants with chicken manure pellets
But Heucheras never seem to do well with me. Struggle for a few seasons before eventually dying.

Spruce - yours look very nice.

 

I feed mine - but I only grow the larger leaved ones, as they grow better on my heavy soil.

I tried this season on Google:

site:heucheraholics.co.uk fertiliser

no results ... which is perhaps telling.

 

@Spruce I have Amethyst Mist, Green Spice, Ginger Ale, Paprika and Encore!!

Val

 

thank you

I split them ever year in the Autumn throw away or try and root the old parts I think thats the secret with them , leaves and flowers so much better on the new pieces from the previous season , and I keep in the greenhouse over winter and treat for weevil sounds like hard work reading it all back

 

Hi Val

I will have to look them up , especially Amethyst Mist , nice start to your collection !!

 

Trouble is I don't have room for a collection but I am already looking at your "Autumn Leaves" one!!!
Here is Amethyst Mist!! I bet you buy one!!!!! @Spruce

 

Just a suggestion, it could be too much nitrogen, apparently too much kills them eventually!! @Sirius

Val

 

Autumn leaves is a easy one as well Val , yes that Amethyst Mist looks like a must have

I also have this one creme brulee

 

I LOVE creme brulee, mustn't look, mustn't look!!!!!!

Val

 

Here you go @Val.. You can start your collection now

Hey @Spruce how about this one!!!! I must admit I have weakened and bought one of these !!


It is called "Glitter"

 

Most of mine I grew from seed = Metallica or somesuch like that. couple of quid for a packet or two Visits rave about them - either "Haven't seen that one before" yeah, well you wouldn't have - People Like You don't grow that one!!! and "Nice big leaves" - you can come again

 

and I have these two

Yellow stone falls & Red stone falls , both training varieties , which I must try in baskets .

I only have one or two left to tease you @Val..

it was Dim who used to be on here who was crazy about them and I just had to have a few , all bought as plugs so much cheaper , it was like a pick and mix selection the only one that struggles is "Milan " 2nd picture and Silver Scrolls I need to divide every year 1st Picture

 

I like Heucheras but haven't bought any because each time I see them they remind me of Dim. Whenever he suggested plants to members they were always top of his list.
