A couple of weeks ago, I tripped over something in my garden, and accidentally divided part of a huge Heuchera that I have. It totally needed it, but probably not this time of year. I took all of the segments that broke off, dipped them in rooting hormone, and stuck them in pots. Within a few days, they started growing new leaves, and have been doing great.
The only other time I've divided a Heuchera was when I accidentally pulled one up when I was removing some ground cover, and it was in chunks. I stuck the pieces in the ground and forgot about them. About 3 weeks later, they were blooming!
My question is, should I cut off the old leaves and just leave the new leaves? I have already made a spot for them in another bed, but will wait a while longer to plant them in the ground, so that they have time to grow some roots. I'm sure they are going to survive, but I'm not sure what to do with the old foliage!
Thanks for any suggestions!
