Hi

Hardiness, where do I find a definition of US hardy zones.
In particular will Swirling Fantasy stand up to a North of England climate?

Thanks

Peter

Hello Jackie.
To spruce your 'Swirling Fantasy' up for the coming year, remove the old foliage, and check that the eyes of the plant are still at soil level, as the may have raised up out of the ground.
If this is the case, then dig the plant out and re-plant it deeper.
Heucheras in general require very little maintenance.

What do I do with my Heuchera 'Swirling Fantasy' in the spring? Does it need to be trimmed or cleaned up in any way?

Thanks!

The foliage keeps its silver-purple colour throughout the whole season.

Does this heuchera retains the purple colour of his leaves all summer or does it turn purple-green during the season ? Thank you
