Variety traits

Heuchera rhizome

Heuchera L.

The thickened stem of Heuchera, prone to vertical growth and exposure as the plant ages. It is a key organ for vegetative propagation and a critically sensitive zone requiring proper planting and protection from freezing.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Coral Flower, where this is mentioned in the description.

The Heuchera rhizome is a biologically active part of the stem that gradually rises above the soil level during the growing season. Due to its tendency for vertical elongation and loss of ornamental appeal over time, this organ requires regular rejuvenation through division or cuttings.

The condition of the rhizome is a determining factor in the crop's survival. When planting, it is critical to keep the growth point at the soil surface level, as deep planting or waterlogging often leads to tissue rot. During the winter period, the rhizome requires protection, which is provided by the plant's old leaves.
