Growing Temperature:
Air temperature: 50˚F to 55˚F at night and 60˚F to 65˚F daytime air temperature are ideal.

When nights stay above 40 °F, place your plants outside and leave them there. They can withstand winter temperatures to minus 25 °F when planted in the garden. In containers, they can withstand about minus 5 °F.
Light: Full sun to partial shade. Heuchera do well in part sun, but stay away from hot afternoon rays - foliage will often fade, wilt, or scorch under intense sunlight. Instead, provide shade during the hottest times of the day, or plant where your plant will get consistent full or filtered shade. Southern gardeners should plant in an area that receives morning sun and afternoon shade while Northern gardeners may plant in an area with more direct sun.
