I have planted heucheras for the very first time, and I need to know how to take care of them. Are you supposed to trim off the older outer leaves in the Spring? Do they prefer acidic, alkaline, or neutral soil? I have one in the garden and one in a pot. Do they need much water during the Summer? I get rain all winter here, and only sporadic rain July and August. Any other tips greatly appreciated as well. Thanks.
