Otherwise, you chance leaf burn. Warmer climates will find Heuchera do best in the afternoon, or part shade or full shade.

Plant in almost any kind of soil, it’s best is moderately moist, organically rich and humusy sites with especially well-drained soil. Heuchera is susceptible to rot, so good drainage is essential while roots establish themselves.

Provide access to moisture on a regular basis throughout hot summers and long dry spells. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Plus a winter application of compost and more mulch for best results.
