Watters Garden Center Balboa Sunset Heuchera

Yes, unlike many perennials that only bloom for a few weeks, this Heuchera is grown specifically for its foliage. The leaves maintain their vibrant, shifting colors from spring through late autumn, providing consistent visual interest.

It performs best in partial shade, which means it appreciates morning sun but needs protection from the intense heat of the afternoon sun. If you live in a particularly hot climate, ensure it is planted in a spot that stays shaded for the majority of the day.

While no plant is 100% immune to hungry wildlife, Heuchera is widely considered deer and rabbit resistant. The texture and taste of the leaves are generally unappealing to them, making this a reliable choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.

Since the Balboa Sunset reaches a mature spread of 1 to 2 feet, you should space them about 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows enough airflow between the mounds to keep the foliage healthy and prevents overcrowding.

You don't have to, but it is recommended. Once the delicate flower spikes fade, you can trim them back to the base of the plant to encourage a tidier appearance and keep the focus on the colorful foliage.
