Plant Information Latin Name: Heuchera ‘Apple Twist’ Common Name: Apple Twist Coral Bells Watering Requirements: Medium Sun Exposure: Partial shade to full shade Soil Conditions: Well-draining, rich organic soil Mature Plant Height: 8-10 inches Mature Plant Width: 14-16 inches Plant Care Apple Twist Coral Bells are relatively low-maintenance plants that thrive with minimal attention. Regular watering is essential during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, they become more drought-tolerant. Remove any dead or damaged foliage to maintain appearance and promote healthy growth. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer for optimal performance. In winter, protect the crown of the plant with a layer of mulch to prevent frost heaving. Divide plants every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. Watch for common pests like vine weevils and protect against slug damage, especially in early spring. Planting Instructions Choose a location with well-draining soil and partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firming gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Space plants 14-16 inches apart to allow for mature growth.
