Heuchera tend to make it in a little bit of cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant heuchera in Lebanon is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant heuchera and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your heuchera may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your heuchera indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
