coral bells

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pinot Noir') should be watered deeply when the soil is dry to the touch. Depending on the temperature and humidity levels, this may be every 4-7 days. Make sure to check the soil moisture level before watering, as the foliage may wilt in the heat of the day and look like it needs watering, when it may not actually need it. While the plant is establishing, water more often, as the root system needs to be developed. In hot weather, you may need to water every other day to keep the soil consistently moist.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pinot Noir') prefer to grow in areas with partial sun, which is an average of 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ideally, it should receive morning sunlight and be in the shade during the hot afternoon hours for best growth and flower production. It can handle a bit more sun as long as it is adequately watered and soil moisture levels are monitored. It should not be planted in areas with full sun as this can cause scorching and stunted growth.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Pinot Noir') don't require much pruning, but should be lightly trimmed in late winter or early spring. Pruning will help keep the leaves clean and will shape the plant to reach its fullest potential. When pruning, use a pair of sharp garden shears and cut back each stem to 5 to 7 inches, removing any dead or dying leaves in the process. This will remove any old foliage and encourage new growth. Pruning in late winter will also help avoid damage from late frost.
