For Heuchera 'Lime Marmalade', regularly check the soil around the root ball: it should remain moist. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (partial to full shade) does not eliminate the need for water.

Throughout the seasons, Heuchera 'Lime Marmalade' benefits from timely care: remove damaged leaves without burying the crown and protect the foliage from scorching sun if the soil dries quickly. Freezing and thawing can lift the heuchera's crown; check in spring that the roots remain in good contact with the soil. For plant pairings, consider lungworts, foamflowers, and astilbes of varieties with similar needs. The flowering (June) and spread of 60 cm will serve as guidelines for arranging other plants around this plant.
