Can Heuchera Be Divided

Every 3 to 5 years it’s a good idea to divide Heucheras, especially if the center of the plant becomes woody and/or growth slows down. … To divide, simply dig up the plant with a trowel or hand shovel and use your fingers to gently pull the plant apart into divisions.

Can I divide Heuchera in fall?

Heucheras grow from a fibrous root system that gradually expands each year. You can divide the clumps after they have tripled in size (usually after two seasons). The best time to divide is in fall, because the plants’ roots will have time to grow and establish before the hot, stressful summer months.

When should you divide heucheras?

Divide Heuchera in spring around March to May or in autumn around September to November when the soil is dry enough to work. If autumn is particularly wet, delay until spring.
