coral bells

Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Black Beauty') should be watered when the soil is dry, approximately once every 5 to 7 days. Water thoroughly, until the soil is moist but not soggy. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause root rot. During the summer and hot months, watering may need to be increased. In the winter, the soil should be allowed to dry out more between waterings. Water from the bottom of the pot—otherwise, the leaves may get too wet. Try to water close to the roots.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Black Beauty') need at least 4 hours of direct sunlight each day for the best growth and flowering. For best results, put them in an area that receives morning sun and is shaded from the heat of the afternoon sun. If planted in an area that receives too much direct sun, the leaves may scorch and the growth will be less vigorous. If planting in an area that receives only partial sunlight, it's best to increase the amount of light by planting in a location that reflects sunlight, such as an area close to a wall or driveway.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Black Beauty') should be pruned regularly to maintain its attractive shape and fullness. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove straggly or dead stems down to the ground and thin out clumps of plants to open up the centre of the plant and let air and light in. There is no need to prune heavily, as the plant does not need to produce lots of flowers to look attractive. Pruning can also be done in midsummer if necessary, to control the size or shape of the plant.
