Description

Heuchera pulchella (Sandia Coral Bells) is native to the limestone cliffs and mountain slopes of New Mexico’s Sandia and Manzano Mountains. It’s well suited to high elevations up to 8125 ft. Heuchera pulchella is drought tolerant in the shade, but it may need moderate water in hot sunny conditions. It needs only average or lean soil with good drainage. Deer-resistant, this can be a long-lived perennial in the right growing conditions.

A Plant Select® perennial, a regional plant introduction organization founded in 1997 as a collaboration between Colorado State University and Denver Botanic Gardens. The organization has brought together many of the region's best horticulturists, plant breeders, landscapers, and commercial plant growers with the goal of introducing regionally suitable plants for the Great Plains and Intermountain states.

Planting & Care

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.
