Heuchera 'Miracle'

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Miracle') is a medium-sized perennial with vivid chartreuse foliage. It is perfect for adding vibrant beauty to the garden. This winter-hardy plant can survive in partial shade to full sun, and prefers moist, well-drained soil. The fragrant, bell-shaped flowers bloom in shades of red, pink, or white and hummingbirds love the flowers for nectar. The short, dense habit of this heuchera makes it a great choice for edging beds and walkways, as well as for containers. Early morning sun is preferable for best leaf color and flowering performance. This heuchera is low maintenance and adds a rainbow of color and texture to the garden.

watering

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Miracle') should be watered frequently, but only enough to keep the soil slightly moist. During the spring and summer seasons, water your coral bells every 3-4 days. Make sure to soak the soil thoroughly so the roots can absorb the water. During the fall and winter seasons, water your coral bells every 7-10 days to prevent overwatering. If planted in a container, check the soil every few days for moisture levels. If the top few inches feel dry, it’s time to water.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Miracle') prefer full sun in cool climates (zones 4-9). In hotter climates (zones 8-9), they need a little afternoon shade for best performance. When planted in full sun, they should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. This is usually enough for them to flower and provide vibrant foliage colour. In addition, they will benefit from reflected light from the surrounding environment, which can help reduce the impact of extended strong sunlight periods.

pruning

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Miracle') should be pruned once a year, typically in early spring, just before its new growth emerges. Pruning should be light, removing any dead foliage or blooms. It is preferable to prune the plant lightly several times a season rather than prune all at once. This encourages more uniform growth and helps keep the plant looking neat and attractive. If necessary, deadheaded flowers can also be removed throughout the summer.
