I cut off any of the woody growth and any leaves that don't look good, and within a week or so the area is covered with new leaves. It's really important to trim away the old stuff. I have found that when I don't, the heucheras grow only a limited number of new leaves... and as you said, don't ever regain their former lushness.

I don't think this is normal but every heuchera I have ever had does this.

I'm just waiting until I can collect seed from them and do it again. I'm excited to see what I will get this time.
