watering

Coral bells, or Heuchera 'Palace Passion', require regular watering to remain healthy and vigorous. When watering, use lukewarm water (ideally rainwater) and water until the soil is damp, but not soggy. The frequency of watering will depend on your climate and the season - in warm weather, they will require more frequent watering than in cool weather. Generally, water your coral bells every 2-3 days in spring and summer and every 4-6 days in fall and winter. Make sure the soil is always moist, but never saturated, to keep the plant healthy.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Passion') prefer bright, indirect sunlight, and should be placed in a spot that gets at least 3 to 4 hours of sunlight a day. They should be sheltered from intense afternoon sunlight, which can burn the delicate foliage. In the spring and summer months, the optimal time for exposing coral bells to sunlight is between 9am and 3pm. In the autumn and winter, however, it is best kept to 2-3 hours of exposure per day between 9am and 11am.

pruning

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Passion') are a low-maintenance, evergreen perennial plant ideal for the shade garden. Pruning should be done annually to maintain a neat and compact appearance. Generally, Heuchera should be pruned in early spring, just as new growth begins to appear. Remove any old, dead, or damaged foliage with a pair of pruning shears, and shape the plant by cutting back the longest stems. Pruning should also remove any diseased or damaged foliage. Regular pruning will help encourage new growth and provide more compact, healthy plants.
