Product Information
Full details
The Heuchera 'Alabama Sunrise' is ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, year-round foliage color in borders, patio pots, or woodland-style arrangements. Its key benefit is the dynamic color shift from red and orange hues in early growth to golden yellow with silver undertones as leaves mature, providing visual intrigue throughout the seasons. While it is highly adaptable, users should be aware that the plant requires consistent moisture when placed in sunnier locations to prevent leaf scorch.

FAQs
Does this plant need to be cut back?
You can tidy the plant in early spring by removing any dead or damaged leaves to encourage new, vigorous growth.
Can I plant this in full sun?
It performs best in partial shade. While it can tolerate sunnier spots, you must ensure it has adequate water to prevent heat stress.
Is the Alabama Sunrise hardy?
Yes, it is an evergreen perennial that is generally hardy and can withstand standard garden temperatures throughout the year.
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.
What kind of soil does it prefer?
It prefers rich, well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH.
Troubleshooting
Leaves turning brown at the edges
This is often a sign of underwatering or excessive sun exposure. Increase watering frequency and consider moving the plant to a spot with more shade.
Slow growth after planting
Ensure the soil is well-draining. Heuchera dislike waterlogged roots, which can cause crown rot and stunted development.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 3L pot, ensure the plant is well-watered before transplanting. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and mix in organic matter to improve soil drainage. For container gardening, use a high-quality multipurpose compost. Place the plant at the same soil depth it occupied in the nursery pot. Water thoroughly immediately after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season until it is fully established. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture during warmer months.
