Coral Forest Coral Bells , Heuchera sanguinea FLOWERS Seed,Perennial, Zone: 4-9

Heuchera (Heuchera sanguinea ) - This Coral Bells forms a low mound of smooth-lobed, green marbled foliage. Spikes of bright red flowers appear on short stems in spring. Protect from the afternoon sun, especially during the hottest months of summer. Evergreen in mild winter areas but plants may be clipped hard in early spring. Division is not always easy but can be attempted in spring.

Many gardeners recommend that Heuchera seeds be stratified, which means that they must be refrigerated and put through a cold period lasting several weeks. Once the flower seed has been refrigerated for several weeks, it can be sown indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Using quality starter mix and starter trays, sow Coral Bells seeds into cells, pressing the flower seed into the soil. Keep Heuchera seed moist. When temperature are consistently warm outdoors and danger of frost has passed, Heuchera seedlings can be hardened off and moved outdoors.
