watering

Coral bells should be watered regularly, but not excessively. Aim to keep the soil uniformly moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch and before the leaves begin to wilt. During times of hot, dry weather, it is best to water once or twice a week, providing enough water that it reaches the roots of the plant. In cooler weather, once a week should be sufficient.

sunlight

Coral bells need bright, indirect sunlight for optimum growth. During spring and summer, they should be exposed to at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day, but not in the direct hot afternoon sun. In the winter, the amount of sunlight should be reduced to 2-3 hours per day to protect the plant from cold damage.

pruning

Coral bells (Heuchera 'PWHEU0109' DOLCE BLACKCURRANT) should typically be pruned in the spring after new growth has taken place. This plant should typically be pruned lightly, removing only the flowers that have died and any weak or damaged stems. When pruning, it is important to avoid cutting into the foliage as this may damage the plant. Deadheading can be done throughout the growing season to promote continuous blooming. It is also important not to prune too deeply, as this may cause the plant to slowly decline. Additional pruning may be done later in the season or during the winter to thin out the foliage and encourage a more compact shape.
