Growing
and Caring for Growing and caring for Heuchera, commonly known as Coral Bells is very easy. As a matter of fact, these are probably some of the easiest plants that I've ever grown or cared for. Heuchera-Coral Bells is a perennial plant, which means that it dies back in the winter but comes back up again in the spring. Ideally you should cut them back right to ground in the late fall after you have experienced a good hard freeze in your area. But last fall I didn't get out there to cut mine off, and by the time I thought about it this spring they already had some new growth coming up from the root system, so I just let them grow. Amazingly the new growth came and completely covered last years growth. Which really makes them one of the lowest maintenance plants I've ever used in a landscape. We've got three different varieties in the landscaping around our house and Pam and I both enjoy these beautiful plants. Below are photos of two of the plants in my landscape, and you can also watch My Heuchera-Coral Bells video to see third and learn more. Click
