coral bells

Coral bells should be watered deeply and infrequently. Water thoroughly when the soil becomes slightly dry, approximately 1-2 times per week. Make sure to water the coral bells at the root and avoid wetting the foliage. During periods of rain, watering is not necessary. In dry climates, over-watering can be an issue. Let the top inch of soil become dry before each watering.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Silver Lode') prefer bright, indirect sunlight. They should receive light all day, but should still be protected from intense afternoon sunlight and excessive heat. During the summer months, Coral bells should be given a few hours of direct morning sunlight and filtered light in the afternoon. During the winter, Coral bells can do well with as little as 2 to 3 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Silver Lode') should be pruned once a year in late spring or early summer using a pair of sharp shears. Pruning is necessary to keep the plant tidy and to promote healthy new growth. Begin by removing any dead or decaying foliage, then use a pair of sharp shears to lightly trim the foliage to an attractive shape. Avoid over-pruning, which can reduce flowering and damage the plant. Regular deadheading will help encourage more flowers.
