Pruning hairy alumroot — FAQ
When should I prune hairy alumroot?
Early spring; after flowering. Tidy away dead leaves by hand or with scissors in spring. Remove spent flower stalks at the base once flowering is complete. If the crown begins to sit above soil level, mound compost around the base or lift and replant at the correct depth.
How often does hairy alumroot need pruning?
Annual tidy in spring; replant lifted crowns as needed. Hairy alumroot is one of the most heat- and humidity-tolerant heucheras, and it requires minimal pruning. Remove dead or damaged foliage in early spring. Cut old flower scapes to the base. Crown heaving is less severe than in other Heuchera species but check every few years and top-dress or replant if needed.
