Hmm, how to answer this......I cut off the flower scapes on all of my heuchera in the early spring. My Autumn Bride get cut back every spring, I have a large area of Palace Purple, I pretty much ignore them. I find myself removing a few dead leaves here and there and just let the new foliage grow over last years leaf residue. It will be interesting to see what others due. For the most part the plants are trouble free for me.

Depends on where you are located and the growing conditions. In my area, heuchera are fully evergreen, looking as good in winter as they do any other time of year.......often developing some interesting winter color as well. All I do is remove any dried up or tattered foliage in spring. Unless the dang deer beat me to it!!

In colder climates, the plants can die back and lose some foliage and cutting back to rejuvenate may be appropriate.

I normally just remove damaged or tattered leaves in the spring.

They occasionally push out of the ground and have to be reset.

Every 3-4 years, I divide and/or clean up the plants when they get kind of raggedy looking.

Most of my heuchera are pretty low maintenance, which I like.

Ditto, mine are "evergreen" here in zone 5b. I just remove dead leaves and spent scapes.

I planted 3 Dolce Blackberry Ice last Summer and this year the grew 1/3 to 1/2 larger than their original size.

Last month I bought a few clearance "over-wintered" Heuchera and Huecherella that were cut all the way back. They still haven't been planted (last frost is usually May 14th). One of them is getting foliage again, and the other three still have nothing coming up. I hope they are ok. I am also in zone 5b, so I wonder why they cut them back?

I'm a new gardener and I have already fallen in love with this plant! There are so many varieties!

Hah! Really? I didn't know I could have planted them, I guess that makes sense! The more you know! I'll plant them this weekend. Thank you! Hopefully these little sweeties come back!

This is a first but I am going to disagree with gardengal. In the land of ice and snow hardy plants can certainly be damaged by frost. On May 23rd 2014 we had a very unusual late frost and plants I had in the ground for nearly 20 yrs. were severely affected. Hostas were the hardest hit, some turning to total mush. They did come back from the roots. Freshly planted items could take a harder hit.

Edited to add - We in cold zones have an additional consideration, the nasty phenomenon known as frost heave. It can throw plants out of the ground with repeated freeze thaw cycles. This occurs with plantings done in fall as well as spring.
