coral bells

Water coral bells (Heuchera 'Rachel') when the soil feels dry about 1 inch deep. Water them thoroughly so that the water reaches the root zone. It's best to water in the morning so that the leaves have time to dry during the day. In summer, water every 4-7 days and in winter, water about every 10-14 days. Avoid getting the foliage wet to help prevent fungal and bacterial diseases.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Rachel') require about 4–6 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive and provide an optimal show of colour. Too much direct sunlight can lead to foliage burn, so it's best to give these plants some morning sun and then direct shade for the remainder of the day. Hours of direct sunlight can vary depending on the season and the plant's location. In general, coral bells can tolerate more direct sunlight around mid-spring through to mid-autumn, but on days with higher temperatures or during the summer months, it is best to provide some light shade for around 2–3 hours.

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Rachel') require moderate pruning to encourage healthy growth and help establish a bushy habit. The best time to prune is in the early spring, before the new growth has started. Begin pruning by removing any dead, damaged, or weak stems at ground level. Then, using clean pruning scissors, trim back the remaining stems to between half and 1-third of their original height. This will discourage leggy growth and encourage the plant to thicken up. Finally, clip back any flower heads that have begun to die back for the season. Pruning coral bells keeps the foliage looking neat and tidy and encourages a bushier, more vigorous growth habit.
