watering
Water your Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Strawberry Swirl') once every week with about 1 inch of water. Make sure that the soil is evenly moist, and that the roots are receiving the water. Water your plant in the morning or early afternoon to help prevent fungal diseases and to ensure the soil has enough time to dry out before night. Be sure to not overwater and avoid wetting the foliage of the plant, as this could cause foliar diseases.
sunlight
Coral bells (Heuchera 'Strawberry Swirl') do best in sunny spots with morning sun, but in hotter climates, some afternoon shade may be beneficial. These plants should receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day when possible. If necessary, partial sun (3 to 4 hours of filtered sunlight per day) is also acceptable. When the temperature is too hot for this species, full shade may be the best option.
pruning
Coral bells, or Heuchera 'Strawberry Swirl', should be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. This will ensure the plant maintains its desired shape and size. To prune, cut away any dead or damaged foliage and shape the plant. For established plants, gently cut back the stems about 1-third of their length. This will encourage new growth and reduce overcrowding. After pruning, remove any dead foliage and discard. Regular pruning is beneficial to encourage healthy growth and promote beautiful blooms.
