When to plant Coral bells 'Caramel'?

Heuchera 'Caramel' thrives in partial shade or full sun, though in hotter gardens a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade will prevent leaf scorch and keep the caramel-orange foliage at its best. It tolerates a range of soils but performs most reliably in well-drained loam or sandy soil that doesn't sit wet in winter. Heavy clay should be improved with grit and organic matter before planting. Plant in March, April or May for establishment before summer, or in September and October so roots can settle before winter. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and set the crown at soil level—burying it too deeply invites rot. Space plants 35 cm apart; this allows each clump to develop its full spread of 30–40 cm without crowding neighbours. Heucheras are often used as edging or ground cover, so consistent spacing gives a neat, even effect. Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil around the roots, then keep the ground lightly moist for the first few weeks while the plant establishes. A 3–5 cm mulch of garden compost or composted bark around (but not touching) the crown helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate roots through winter. Heuchera 'Caramel' is evergreen, so the foliage remains visible year-round; good initial planting and mulching will keep it looking tidy from the start. Avoid planting in waterlogged spots or deep shade, where growth becomes leggy and the distinctive leaf colour fades.
