Planting Instructions from a 3.5" Pot:

1. Location: Choose a site with partial shade. In cooler climates, full sun can be tolerated.
2. Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage.
3. Planting:
   • Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the pot.
   • Gently remove the plant from the pot and loosen the roots if they are bound.
   • Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
   • Backfill with soil, pressing gently to eliminate air pockets.
4. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until established.
5. Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep the mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.

By following these guidelines, your Forever Red Heuchera will establish well and become a vibrant, low-maintenance addition to your garden.
