Heuchera 'Marmalade'
Heuchera 'Marmalade' is an attractive perennial foliage plant with dense, compact mounds of bright orange-red color which is a perfect complement to coral flowers. They thrive in moist, well-drained soils and partial shade, making them ideal for rock gardens, borders, or even containers. In addition to having striking, eye-catching color, coral bells also produce small clusters of white or pinkish flowers that are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. These plants are drought-tolerant and virtually maintenance-free, with no need for deadheading or pruning. Once established, they thrive with minimal care and will add color and texture to any garden space.

watering
Coral bells should be watered when the soil just begins to feel dry, typically about once a week. Make sure to water thoroughly until the water begins to come out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Aim to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. During the summer months, you may need to water more frequently in warmer, dryer climates.
sunlight
Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Marmalade') prefer bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day. They thrive in locations with at least 4-6 hours of morning sun and afternoon shade; however, good light quality is more important than the duration of the sunlight exposure. When placed in a full sun exposure, it's best to provide some shade from the intense, direct rays of the afternoon. Too much direct sunlight can cause the colors and shapes of the foliage to fade.
pruning
When it comes to pruning coral bells, it is best to do it after the blooming season in late spring or early summer. This will help to keep the plant Healthy and looking beautiful. It is important to do a light pruning on your coral bells, as they don't respond well to heavy pruning. To do this, you can trim away any dead foliage and blooms. This will help to encourage new growth. Be sure to remove no more than 1-third of the foliage at a time. Doing so will allow the plant to still maintain its shape and form. You can also consider removing stems that are overcrowding the plant to open up some space and increase air circulation. Additionally, you can pinch back stems and leaves to create a fuller and bushier plant.
