Planting Instructions (From a 3.5" Pot into the Ground)

1. Choose the Location

• Select a location with partial to full shade and rich, well-drained soil.
• Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, containers, and under trees.

2. Prepare the Soil

• Loosen soil 8–10 inches deep.
• Incorporate compost or leaf mold to improve fertility, drainage, and moisture retention.

3. Dig the Hole

• Dig a hole twice as wide as the 3.5" pot and equal depth.

4. Remove from Pot

• Carefully remove the plant from its container.
• Gently loosen any circling roots before planting.

5. Plant

• Place the root ball level with the surrounding soil surface.
• Backfill with soil and gently firm around the roots.

6. Water Thoroughly

• Water deeply immediately after planting.
• Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season.

7. Mulch

• Apply 2 inches of organic mulch around the plant to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the crown.

8. Spacing

• Space plants 16–20 inches apart to allow room for mature growth and good air circulation.

Overwintering Tapestry™ Heucherella

In-Ground Plants

• Fully hardy throughout USDA Zones 4–9.
• Evergreen in mild climates and semi-evergreen in colder regions.
• Leave healthy foliage in place through winter to help protect the crown.

Winter Care Tips

• Apply a light layer of mulch after the ground freezes to reduce freeze-thaw cycles.
• Remove damaged foliage in late winter or early spring before new leaves emerge.
• Ensure well-drained soil to prevent crown rot during winter.

Container-Grown Plants

• Move containers to a sheltered location during severe winter weather.
• Protect roots from repeated freeze-thaw cycles by insulating the container or placing it in an unheated garage or protected area.
• Water sparingly during dormancy, ensuring the soil does not become completely dry.

Long-Term Maintenance

• Divide mature clumps every 3–5 years in spring or early fall to maintain vigor and refresh the planting.
• Remove spent flower stalks and older foliage as needed to keep plants healthy and attractive.
