Heuchera 'Plum Pudding'
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Plum Pudding') are native to North America and have evergreen foliage with fragrant blooms of white, yellow, or pink flowers that flower in the summer. They are easy-to-grow showstoppers in shady areas and grow to a height of around 24 inches. The dark plum foliage is covered in a furry, velvet texture and makes the perfect backdrop for the coral-colored bells. Coral bells thrive in most soil type and require very little maintenance. These dainty plants are perfect for pots, containers, or hanging baskets, and they make a great addition to any garden.

watering
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Plum Pudding') need to be watered about once a week. Depending on the season and the amount of rainfall, you may need to water more or less. In the summer months, it is important to keep the soil slightly moist at all times. During the winter, make sure to only water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Make sure to water deeply, as this will encourage the roots to grow deeper and stronger. Avoid over-watering, as this can cause root rot in coral bells.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Plum Pudding') thrive best in partial shade. Low- to medium-light conditions is best, with 4 hours or more of sun per day, with direct sun limited to the morning and late afternoon hours. In the hottest months of the year (July through August in most areas), you may need to provide a bit of afternoon shade to keep the plant from burning. In the winter, coral bells can tolerate a bit more direct sun.
pruning
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Plum Pudding') should be pruned back in late winter, before new growth begins. Generally, pruning should remove dead flowers and faded or diseased foliage. This will encourage new, healthy growth and improved flowering. Pruning should not be overly aggressive; cutting back more than 1-third of the plant may damage the overall health of the coral bells. Proper care and pruning of coral bells will not only increase flowering, but will also give the plant a tidy, attractive form.
