Weston Pink Coral Bells
Details
Weston Pink Coral Bells (Heuchera sanguinea ‘Weston Pink’) has everblooming sprays of coral-pink flowers that cover the plant all summer long. I thought we had lost this vigorous and long-lived plant, but found a couple of plants in a Santa Fe garden to use as stock for cuttings, and we have it back now. Originally discovered in an English nursery, it was brought to the U.S. by Digging Dog Nursery about two decades ago. 16-18" tall x 12-15" wide.| SKU | HBL6W51 |

Tips On Growing Heuchera (Coral Bells)
Heuchera (Coral Bells) is a genus of North American native perennials known for their attractive foliage and showy flower sprays.
Preferred growing conditions:
- Plant in compost enriched soils with good drainage.
- Position in partial to full shade.
- Mulch with commonly available mulch materials.
- Coral Bells like moderate soil moisture and should be watered regularly, especially when conditions are dry.
- Deadheading will prolong blooming.
- Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half blend of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.
Special comments:
- Heuchera should not be divided.
- Leave the plants standing over the winter months, and removed winter-killed foliage in mid-spring. Plants are semi-evergreen with thick succulent stems growing from the crown and should not be cut back, only trimmed.

Comments about High Country Gardens Heuchera sanguinea Weston Pink:
I'm not much of a Heuchera fan, but these plants are simply one of the best of all plants in my garden. They're one of the first to bloom in spring and one of the last to stop in the fall. They even attract bees.

Comments about High Country Gardens Heuchera sanguinea Weston Pink:
Planted near front door in an area that gets mainly indirect sunlight, sandy soil. They bloom for a long period of time in the Spring and add interest to the landscape with the blooms positioned on the ends of the stalk. Bright, cheerful pink blooms.

Comments about High Country Gardens Heuchera sanguinea Weston Pink:
These will look just like the pictures! Mine are planted in a challenging area between the porch and the walkway with some lavender. They bloom constantly and every one came back after the hard winter. Lovely plant.

Q & A
Suggested Companion Plants:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
