The intensity of the foliage colour changes a little throughout the year (it tends to become richer when the temperatures drop) but even so, 'Forever Red' will offer a bold splash of colour throughout the year. Use it to line a border or pathway, or add it to a mixed arrangement in a pot to liven things up - and enjoy the sprays of small white flowers that pop up in summer.
How to care for Heuchera Forever Red ('Tnheufr') (PBR) (Forever Series):
Heucheras do not like dry soil. Remove tatty foliage in autumn. Lift and divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn and replant with the crown just above the surface of the soil. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the crown of the plant in spring.

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
