#ProPlantTips for Care:
Like most Coral Bells, Caramel thrives in partial sunlight but once established it will also grow in shade. Maintain consistent moisture and well-drained, enriched soil when grown in full sun. In the hottest of their favorite growing zones 4 to 9, this variety will appreciate some afternoon shade. If you use these Perennials in full sun, be sure to water well and add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch at the root zones. This Heuchera variety is pest resistant, typically ignored by deer and rabbits, as well as disease free! For the best growth, it's recommended to divide the clumps every few years, in the spring, in the spring and prune back winter die-back in early spring as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
