Care
‘Peach Crisp’ Coral Bells Care
Plant in rich, well-draining soil amended with organic matter. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during establishment and dry summer periods. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can damage the crown.
‘Peach Crisp’ performs best in partial shade, where morning light enhances the warm tones while afternoon shade prevents scorching. In cooler regions, it tolerates more sun. Remove spent flowers and any tired leaves in early spring to maintain fresh, vibrant growth.
For best results, feed once yearly in spring with a slow release fertilizer to promote healthy color and consistent growth throughout the season.
