I have just bought a Helcheria` Little Prince'
When can I plant it in the garden?
Thank You

Yes, I'd plant now too... semi shade and slightly moist conditions.

And keep it watered during warmer dry spells up to November...

Thank you all for your advice.Tugbrethil,I also live in Cheshire.
I have a nice little corner for it and will wait until the middle of next month to plant it.

I'd recommend you plant now to allow the plant to establish in the ground. That pot is on the small side...

Sorry about the confusion, Solada! I live in Phoenix, Arizona, in the United States. As I said, quite different here, except, apparently, as far as Heucheras are concerned! :)

Tugbrethil...I see the confusion but it is my mistake...I misread "FROM where I live"...easily done.
Yes,things will certainly grow different there.I am from South Africa(Cape Town) and the flora there is fabulous!!!

I'll bet that the flora is fantastic! About a quarter of our best garden plants are from South Africa, though most are from the well west of Cape Town, itself.
All the best to you, Solada!

All along the Garden Route has glorious flora...in fact all of South Africa has different species indigenous to the areas...like the USA...very big country...and very beautiful!!!!

Can I plant this into the garden now or is it too late...it is in a pot at the moment and has grown somewhat since the pic above.
Thanks

Yes, you need to get in the ground now... and water if it is warm and dry. Pity you didn't plant back in September when you first asked us all.

It is a little bit late, but its probably better in the ground than out over winter.

Ah! Heuchera 'Little Prince'!
I would plant it now, Solada, but I'll wait until others weigh in. Things are likely to be different in Cheshire from where I live.
