coral bells

Coral bells thrive with 1-2 inches of water per week, with water applied evenly around the plant. Water the coral bells soon after planting, then monitor soil moisture levels regularly to gauge when it needs water. Allow the soil to dry until slightly moist between waterings. Be sure to water deeply to reach the entire root system of the plant. In addition to watering, provide supplemental irrigation in areas with low rainfall or when temperatures are above 80 degrees F (26 C).

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Harmonic Convergence') grow best in partial shade to full sun, preferably in locations that receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. For optimal growth and flowering, the plant should be given sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Too much direct sunlight, especially when combined with high temperatures, can cause the foliage to wilt and discolor; however, too little sunlight can reduce flowering and lead to spindly foliage. With the exception of cooler climates, coral bells should be grown in locations that receive dappled sunlight throughout the day or bright, indirect sunlight such as in the shade of trees or buildings.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Harmonic Convergence') should be pruned in the spring. Pruning should remove any dead or damaged stems and remove unappealing foliage or flowers. it should be pruned lightly to maintain a mounding shape. Pruning should be done periodically, typically every 2 to 3 years, to promote healthy growth. If needed, the plant can be cut back by half its height to encourage fresh foliage.
