#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hardy throughout UDSA growing zones 4 to 9, Coral Bells grow best in enriched well-drained soils in part shade. Plant these Perennials do well in full sun in the northern US, afternoon shade in the south, or even in full shade in the hottest climates. To keep Coral Bells happy, water them well in the heat of summer and the winter months. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system. Coral Bells should be cut back in the early spring, and in fall, and divide the clumps every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Tolerating heat and humidity, it is low-maintenance and performs well even in the South where it can display evergreen tendencies.
