Blackout Coral Bells Care
This heat-tolerant Coral Bells prefers full sun. Plant Heuchera in moist, well-drained soil with high organic content. Give this plant one inch of water each week during the growing season. Established plants can dry out, but water them regularly over the summer to keep the foliage lush. The Blackout Coral Bells is not a heavy feeder, but appreciates a top-dressing of organic compost in the spring. Alternatively you can apply a balanced, slow-release plant food in the spring.
Trim dead or damaged growth as needed. Coral Bells is easily propagated through division in the spring.
Blackout Coral Bells Spacing
