Plants are heat and humidity tolerant in the Southern Appalachian region (USDA zones 6 and 7). Grow either in direct morning sunlight in z-6 or in partial shade in z-7. Autumn Bride languishes in deep shade and dry soils and is best grown\u00a0in a mulched bed.<\/p>\n<p>Autumn Bride and the newer cultivars are not your grandmother&#8217;s puny heucheras. Plants are long-lived and vigorous. Leavesappear fairly battered by late autumn and are best cutback along with spent flowers. Feed\u00a0a handful\u00a0of 10-10-10 granular\u00a0fertilizer\u00a0per plant before growth starts in the early spring. Water soluble fertilizers such as Miracle Gro\u2122, Schultz\u00ae, and Espoma\u00ae are also good choices.
