Plant care

‘Caramel’ is a Heuchera villosa hybrid. The H. villosa species is a large, late blooming Heuchera that is native to the southeastern United States and tolerates high heat and humidity.

Most Heucheras are shade tolerant but do not grow well in deep shade. Generally, Coral Bells grow best with morning sun and afternoon shade. In California, plant in full sun in coastal gardens but provide afternoon shade in hot, arid inland California climates.

Heucheras need good drainage. Poor growth in the garden is generally a result of soil that is too wet with poor, slow drainage. Adding Kellogg Garden Organics Gromulch 2-in-1 Planting Mix & Mulch into the soil will help loosen compacted clay soil and improve drainage.

Water deeply and regularly the first few weeks after planting for the roots to become established. Afterwards, reduce frequency. Avoid overwatering in winter. Adjust winter irrigation depending on seasonal rainfall. Do not bury the crown when planting as this may result in rot.

Evergreen in mild winter areas, Heucheras are easy to maintain. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and remove any damaged or old leaves to keep the plant looking its best. Feed with a general fertilizer like Gardner & Bloome 4-4-4 Organic All Purpose Fertilizer in spring. Clumps can be divided in spring if growth is too big for the area but is not required.

Heuchera 'Caramel' PP16560 is a patented hybrid heuchera, asexual reproduction is prohibited. The plant patent expires in 2025.
