coral bells

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Raspberry Regal') should be watered once a week in the spring and summer, and once every 2 weeks in the fall and winter. The soil should be kept moist but not soggy. Water should be applied slowly so it is able to penetrate deep into the soil. It is best to water in the morning, as this will help to prevent diseases and fungi from developing due to excessive moisture.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Raspberry Regal') prefer bright sunlight, and can benefit from at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sun each day. They can also tolerate partial shade, or a few hours less of sun each day. When planning for sunlight, it is important to take into account the time of year and the angle of the sun. During the summer months when the sun is at a high angle, the sunlight will be more intense and the exposure to direct sun should be limited. In the late fall and winter, when the sun is at a lower angle, coral bells can be exposed for extended periods of time to direct sunlight without suffering too much damage.

Coral bells should be pruned yearly for best appearance. To maintain their full and bushy form, they should be lightly pruned in the early spring, before new growth begins. Begin by cutting back any dead foliage, stems, or flowers. These flowering plants get their best growth from pruning in late winter or early spring before growth begins again in the plant. Prune any yellowing, diseased or dead foliage but avoid removing any green foliage. This will also help prevent fungal diseases. Shaping of the plant should also be done at this time to give it an attractive and more balanced shape. To reduce the size of the plant and keep it from becoming unruly, 1 can also lightly prune throughout the season to reduce the size and scope of the plant.
