Maintenance
Depending on the species some will produce a prodigious amount of flower scapes and these should be deadheaded. I prefer to gently remove the dead leaves in the spring. Gently is the key word since Heuchera do not produce stout clumps and pieces are easily broken off. Heuchera mayfrost heave, a mulch will help prevent this. Gently pushing the plants back into the ground in the spring is a good practice. Rejuvenation by division may be need as the plants get older and form thick heavy stems at the base of the plant.

Author's Notes
This is one of my favorite Heuchera. In my garden it grows in 1/2 day or less of light and produces a plethora of flowers. After deadheading I have mounds of the green\silver\maroon veined foliage. A very vigorous grower.
