Coral Bells Seeds

For stunning color in the flower garden, you should consider planting Coral Bells. Not only will you receive lots of flower color, but you'll also love the plant's intense variety of foliage color too.
Heucheras have becoming increasingly popular among gardeners, and they deserve the attention they're getting. The foliage of these plants is probably their most striking feature. The leaves are often large and heart-shaped or rounded, and many are variegated or ruffled. Because heucheras are evergreen, they bring year-round interest to the garden, even under a dusting of snow.

The tubular flowers are excellent for cutting, hummingbirds love them. Plants are evergreen, deer resistant and low maintenance. Divide every 3 to 4 years.

Useful gardening information

The plants prefer partial shade, but can take more sun in cold climates. Give them well-drained, moist, rich soil that's neutral to slightly acidic, with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Other than keeping them regularly watered during their first year of growth, heucheras don't require much care. Simply cut off the stalks after the flowers are finished, to help the plant put more energy into leaf production
Most coral bells are hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-9, although hardiness really does depend on the variety you are growing and how hot or cold it gets.
Coral bells do best in full sun to partial shade. The color can wash out in full sun and too much heat and light can cause the leaves to scorch. If you grow yours in full sun, give it extra water.

We recommend chilling seed packet in fridge for 2-3 weeks before sowing. Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. Kept at 65-70°F., germination is in 21-30 days. Transplant into the garden 12 in. apart.
