coral bells

Water your Blackberry Ice Coral Bells deeply but infrequently. Typically, water the plant only when the soil is dry to the touch, usually about 1-2 times per week. Watering deeply helps establish a strong root system. Depending on the temperature, soil type, and amount of light, your Coral Bell may require more or less water. Be sure to monitor the soil regularly to ensure your plant is getting the proper amount of water.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Blackberry Ice DOLCE BLACKBERRY ICE' ) will do best in an area with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. When first planted, they should be placed in a spot with partial shade, with the amount of direct sunlight gradually increasing as the plant matures. Each year, coral bells should be watered once a week to help encourage growth and blooming. During the summer months, they should be watered more frequently in order to keep the soil moist. In the winter, coral bell plants should be watered only when necessary.

Coral bells can tolerate pruning once a season in late spring or early summer. Pruning helps to reduce plant size and encourage a bushy habit. They should be pruned at about 1-third to 1-half of the current height. Avoid cutting back into bare stems as this can leave unattractive bald patches. Remove any dead or damaged stems and any that have become leggy or overly prolific.
