Heuchera americana is a small, mounding evergreen with attractive foliage that has been used as a component of modern hybrids to lend hardiness, vigor, and color. It does best in moist rich woods in shade to part sun. In nature, it can be found growing in rocky soils.
Trim old growth: You want to clip near the base of the old growth or dried stems and pull gently away from the plant. Keep an eye out for damaged or diseased growth and remove any found. You want to work your way around the plant, leaving only new, thriving growth behind.
Heuchera are hardy plants that survive punishing winters as far north as USDA plant hardiness zone 4, but they need a little help from you when temperatures drop below the freezing mark.
Heucheras grow very well in containers (ensure they have drain holes) and as far as care goes they can be treated as described above. The main concern will be keeping the soil moist. Be sure to water well in summer months but at the same time don't let autumn and winter rain water log the plants.
