coral bells

Coral bells should be watered once a week but be careful not to overdo it. They require moist soil, not soggy. During the summer months, water deeply enough that the soil is wet 6-8 inches beneath the surface. During the cooler months, water as needed but just keep the soil slightly damp. Take care not to let the soil get completely dry, but do not keep it saturated either.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Strawberry Candy') prefer full sun or partial shade for optimal growth and bloom. When planted in a sunny location, make sure to provide afternoon shade for the plant, as they are susceptible to scorching in direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. For best growth, this plant should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. It is also important to note that the amount of sunlight may vary depending on the season and temperature of the environment. In higher temperatures, coral bells may need more shade protection, and during the colder months, they may benefit from the warmth of increased sunlight.

Pruning Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Strawberry Candy') is best done in late spring as the plant begins to grow. Pruning can be done by gently removing any dead leaves and stems from the base of the plant. This will encourage new growth and reduce overcrowding. If the plant becomes too large it can be lightly trimmed back while keeping an eye out for new stems that may be forming. It is important to keep in mind the plant may not be in full bloom at this time, but pruning should still be done for health and overall appearance. Pruning Coral Bells too often or too harshly can damage the plant, so it is important to keep pruning to a minimum.
