Heuchera 'Mahogany'

Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') is an ornamental, small evergreen perennial plant, native to North America. It is a hardy plant, with thick, scalloped foliage that takes on a mahogany-burgundy hue during the growing season. Dainty clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers appear in summer and autumn, attracting butterflies and birds. This versatile plant is easy to maintain and requires little more than full to partial sun and regular watering. Great as an edging plant in perennial beds, it prefers well-drained soil and thrives in shaded areas along pathways, patios, and rock gardens. Enjoy the color and texture this plant brings to your yard for years to come.

watering

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') need moderate amounts of water, about 1-2 inches per week. Water your coral bells when the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch. If your plant is receiving too little or too much water, the leaf edges will start to turn brown and curl inwards. To provide your plant with the best possible care, water your coral bells in the morning so the leaves have enough time to dry out before the evening.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') prefer a lot of indirect sunlight or partial shade. They should be placed in an area that receives 4–6 hours of bright, indirect light each day. Morning light is preferred, as this promotes strong flowering and better leaf color. Too much direct light can cause the leaves to scorch or fade, so it is important to give coral bells some shade during the hottest part of the day.

pruning

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Mahogany') should be pruned back hard in late autumn or early spring. Prune the stems back to the base, and cut any overgrown leaves to an inch above the serving. Pruning will help encourage the formation of new leaves and vigorous growth. It is also recommended to remove any dead leaves, flowers, and seed heads throughout the growing season. Be sure to not prune too much at once, though, as it can weaken the plant.
