Full details
The Heuchera Cranberry Plant by Carbeth Plants is an ideal choice for gardeners looking for year-round foliage color with minimal effort. This hardy, evergreen perennial is perfect for borders, containers, or woodland gardens, offering striking wine-red leaves that provide visual interest in every season. While it is incredibly low-maintenance and versatile in its planting locations, it requires consistent moisture to thrive and is primarily valued for its foliage rather than its delicate, late-spring floral display.

FAQs
Is the Heuchera Cranberry evergreen?
Yes, this plant is an evergreen perennial and will retain its vibrant foliage throughout the year.
Can I keep this plant in a pot permanently?
Absolutely. It is very well-suited for container gardening as long as you use a pot with good drainage.
Does it need full sun?
It thrives best in partial shade, though it can handle sunnier spots if the soil is kept consistently moist.
When does it flower?
It produces delicate flowers on thin stems during late spring and throughout the summer.
Do I need to prune it?
Maintenance is minimal, but you should clear away old or damaged leaves in early spring to keep the plant looking tidy.
How often should I water it?
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry, it is time to water.
Troubleshooting
Leaf edges turning brown or crispy
Usually caused by dry soil. Increase watering frequency, especially during hot or windy weather.
Plant looks wilted despite damp soil
Check for root rot. Ensure the drainage holes in the pot are clear or that the garden soil isn't waterlogged.
Slow growth or pale foliage
Ensure the plant is receiving sufficient light. While it likes partial shade, too much deep shade can reduce the color intensity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your plant arrives in its 3L pot, remove it carefully and soak the root ball in a bucket of water before planting. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and incorporate some organic compost to encourage growth. If planting in a container, use a high-quality, moisture-retentive potting mix. Once established, this plant is generally self-sufficient. Care involves trimming away any dead or damaged leaves in the early spring to promote fresh growth. Ensure the plant is not sitting in waterlogged soil, as this can lead to root rot; regular watering during the first growing season is crucial for long-term health.
