Heuchera Firefly Coral Bells Seeds

Heuchera Firefly Seeds, or Coral Bells Firefly (Heuchera Sanguinea Firefly), Perennial.

Heads up, very tiny seeds!

30 seeds per package.

Heuchera Firefly (or Coral Bells Firefly) plants are heavy blooming in well-drained, compost enriched soil, flowering is prolonged by deadheading of faded flowering spikes.

Best in part sun in hot climates, but will do well in full sun at higher altitudes with cooler summer weather. Water regularly for the best show of flowers.

Heuchera Coral Bells are vigorous and produce many stems with delicate flowers. This variety makes an excellent border plant with its nearly evergreen foliage in neat clumps. Bright flowers are held aloft on airy stems in May through July. Can be used in a shady courtyard pot or as a ground cover under deciduous trees. Avoid dry soil with full sun. Coral Bells make a good cut flower and a nice addition to any arrangement.

Some gardeners recommend that seeds be stratified, which means that they must be refrigerated and put through a cold period lasting several weeks. Once the flower seed has been refrigerated for several weeks, it can be sown indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Using quality starter mix and starter trays, sow Heuchera seeds into cells, pressing the flower seeds into the soil. Keep seeds moist. When temperatures are consistently warm outdoors and danger of frost has passed, seedlings can be hardened off and moved outdoors.
