watering
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Champagne') should be watered about once per week, but check the soil moisture before watering. If the top 2”-3” of soil is dry, then it's time to water. Water thoroughly until the moisture appears on the surface of the soil. Avoid overwatering, as coral bells may develop root rot when exposed to overly wet conditions. In addition, misting the leaves and flowers daily helps to keep the plant hydrated during warm summer days.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Champagne') prefer partial to full sunlight for best performance. For optimal growth, they should have at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight a day, but in areas with very hot summers, they may benefit from some light afternoon shade. Although coral bells can tolerate a range of light conditions, keep in mind that too little sunlight can lead to pale foliage and poor flower production.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Champagne') require minimal pruning for the best results. In general, they only require light maintenance. Pruning should be done in the spring before new growth begins. Growers may need to shape or remove faded flowers or stems, as well as any woody or gangly growth to maintain the desired shape of the plant. It is important to prune only the stems that are crossing each other, excessively long, or dead. Pruning in excess can damage the plant.
