coral bells

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Purple Petticoats') should be watered 2 or 3 times a week, depending on the weather and the conditions of its soil. Generally, 2 or 3 times a week is enough. It is important to check the soil first before watering; if the soil is already moist then there is no need for watering. Make sure to give the plant deep, thorough watering, to moisten the whole root area. Generally, 1-2 inches of water is enough. In extremely hot weather and through dry periods, the coral bells will need to be watered a bit more, and should be checked once a day to ensure that the soil does not dry out.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Purple Petticoats') should be given plenty of sunlight in order to thrive. During the spring and summer months, this plant should receive full sun for at least 6 hours per day. In the fall and winter, however, it is best to reduce the amount of sunlight it receives to protect the leaves from potential sunburn. For this species of plants, it is ideal to place them in areas that receive morning sun and some shade in the afternoon. This will ensure the plant gets the right amount of light to be able to flourish.

Coral bells (Heuchera ‘Purple Petticoats’) are a low-maintenance plant that require a minimal amount of pruning. They should be pruned as needed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Prune unruly or overgrown plants to keep their shape, or to remove old or damaged stems or foliage to promote new growth. Try to maintain a bush-like shape by pruning just enough to keep the plant small and tidy. Heuchera is a semi-evergreen plant, so avoid pruning back too far and causing damage to new buds.
