Heucheras are herbaceous plants that are characterized by surprisingly decorative leaves. Depending on the variety, there are some that are reddish, yellow, orange and, of course, green. Their height does not exceed 40 centimeters, and as they like very much the places where the sunlight does not reach much, they are ideal to decorate those corners of the garden where other plants could not live.
Therefore, if you have gaps to fill or you want to color the green part of your home, below I am going to offer you a series of ideas that will help you to know how to decorate with heucheras.
When we want to have a garden, one of the most important things to do is plant those plants that are going to be large first, As the trees for example, since they will be the ones that will allow us later to have species as beautiful as those of the heucheras. And, we usually think that you can only have perfect corners if they get the sun all day, but the truth is that this is not the case.
In those that receive filtered sunlight, you can also see such beautiful plant compositions like the one you can see in the picture above. Heucheras, dafne, hostas, and some more that grow more or less to the same height, adding color to the lawn area.

If we have no idea what to plant under a tree, the answer may be heucheras. They only need the soil to be acidic (pH 4 to 6), semi-shade and two or three weekly waterings. Thus, to have an idyllic garden we will not have to wait long, because the growth rate of these plants is very fast 😉.
