coral bells

Coral bells should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. During the active growth season—spring to mid-fall—water your coral bells deeply once a week. In late fall and early spring, water your plants when the top few inches of soil become dry. Drought-tolerant coral bells require less water, so adjust watering frequency to the season and your individual plant's needs.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Bella Notte') should be grown in an area that receives full sun to partial shade for the best results. Generally, the plant should receive about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight each day during the spring and summer months. During the winter months, the plant can tolerate more sunlight as the days shorten. The ideal location for this plant is a spot where it receives early morning sun and evening shade. This plant needs some shade in the afternoon, as the intense heat from the afternoon sun may cause sunburn or scorch the foliage. It is best to provide morning sun and light shade during the afternoon hours.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Bella Notte') should be pruned annually in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Pruning should involve removing any dead or dying foliage, as well as trimming away overgrown stems to keep the desired size and shape. Pruning should be conservative; removing no more than 1-third of the plant’s foliage and stems at a time. This will help the plant stay healthy and prevent it from becoming overgrown.
