watering
Coral bells should be watered about twice a week, usually in the mornings. Water generously until the soil is completely moistened and be sure to water the whole root-zone, not just the surface of the soil. Allow the soil to slightly dry between waterings. When actively growing, water more often.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pinot Gris') grow best in bright, indirect sunlight. Provide 6 to 8 hours of indirect sun per day for optimal growth and flowering; a few hours of direct sunlight is okay, but too much will cause the leaves to scorch. In addition, avoid planting in full shade, as this will cause your coral bells to become leggy and fail to flower.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pinot Gris') should be pruned in late spring or early summer. Pruning should consist of removing any dead or diseased branches, occasionally trimming stems and leaves to maintain the desired size, and selectively cutting back certain stems to create a fuller, more uniform plant. Pruning should be done lightly, with no more than 1/3 of the total growth removed at any given time.
