watering
Coral bells require moist soil and should be watered 2 to 3 times a week. During periods of hot weather, water more often. To ensure that the soil remains moist, use a soaker hose or a drip irrigation system. To check if the soil is dry, stick your finger about 1 inch into the soil; if the soil is dry, water the plant. If the soil is damp, skip a day or 2 before watering again. At the same time, try to avoid overwatering which can lead to root rot.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Molly Bush') need full sun for at least 4 or 5 hours each day for the best growth and flowering. For best results, the plants should receive full sun for the morning hours and then partial shade during the hotter parts of the day. If not given enough light, the plant may become weak and leggy with minimal flower production. In areas with hot summers, it is best to give this plant some afternoon shade. In cooler climates, up to 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight is best.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Molly Bush') should be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Prune back the stems by about 1-third to 1-half and remove any dead, diseased, or damaged stems. This removes old growth and encourages new, fresh growth to emerge in the spring and summer. Prune annually to keep the plant healthy and compact.
