Coral Bells FAQs & Care

What are coral bells grown for?

Coral bells (Heuchera) are compact perennials prized mainly for their foliage, which comes in burgundy, purple, caramel, lime, silver, and patterned combinations. Slender flower stalks in late spring and summer add a second layer of interest.

Their tidy mounded form suits borders, edging, containers, and underplanting around shrubs.

How much sun do coral bells need?

Most coral bells prefer partial shade, with morning sun and afternoon shade giving the best color. Darker-leaved varieties tolerate more sun; lighter and silver-leaved types scorch in hot afternoon light.

In cool northern climates, many varieties handle nearly full sun as long as the soil stays evenly moist.

What soil do coral bells prefer?

Coral bells need well-draining soil rich in organic matter. They dislike wet winter ground, which rots the woody crown.

Plant with the crown at or slightly above soil level and avoid piling mulch against the stems.

Why do coral bells heave out of the ground?

Coral bells have shallow, woody crowns that can be pushed up by freeze-thaw cycles in winter. A light mulch applied after the ground freezes helps keep soil temperature even.

If a plant heaves, press it back into the soil in spring or replant it slightly deeper. Dividing every few years keeps clumps vigorous.

Are coral bells deer-resistant?

Coral bells are generally rated as deer-resistant, though deer and rabbits may sample new growth. Their fuzzy, often bitter leaves are not a preferred food.

They pair well with ferns, sedges, and hostas in shaded plantings.

Do coral bells attract hummingbirds?

The small bell-shaped flowers on airy stalks are a reliable hummingbird draw, especially red and coral-flowered varieties. Bees visit them as well.

Removing spent flower stalks keeps plants neat and may prompt additional bloom.
