coral bells

Coral bells need regular water to stay healthy and to promote growth. Water your Heuchera 'Midnight Rose' deeply and evenly once or twice a week during the growing season, depending on the weather conditions and soil type. This means applying enough water so that when you poke your finger into the soil, it feels moist 1 to 2 inches below the surface. In hotter, drier climates, however, you may need to water it more often. During times of extreme heat or drought, water more frequently, but avoid letting it sit in wet soil for extended periods of time. In cool temperatures and during the winter months, you can reduce the frequency of watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Midnight Rose') will perform best when planted in a location where they can receive full sun to partial shade. Partial sun is best for these plants in hot areas, as they need some protection from the intense rays of the sun. The best amount of sunlight for this plant species is 4 to 6 hours a day. They should not be left in direct sunlight more than 6 hours a day, as this can cause the leaves to become scorched or burned. Morning sun is generally the best option for coral bells, as strong afternoon sun can be too intense.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Midnight Rose') should be pruned back to the ground once a year in the late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning should be done by cutting back the stems to just 1 to 2 inches above the soil line. Dead leaves and flowers can also be removed during this time. Pruning will help to maintain the plant’s shape and increase air circulation, helping to reduce the chances of disease and infection.
