Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:
  Coral bells seeds typically do not require special preparation, though soaking the seeds in water for a few hours before sowing can help soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.

• Sowing:

  • Choose a location with partial to full shade or dappled sunlight.

  • Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches (15 cm) and removing any weeds or debris.

  • Scatter seeds evenly over the soil surface, pressing them lightly into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact.

  • Optionally, cover seeds with a thin layer of soil or compost, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep.

  • Water gently to settle the soil around the seeds.

• Germination:

  • Coral bells seeds typically germinate within 14 to 21 days under optimal conditions.

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

  • Maintain a warm temperature of around 65 to 75°F (18 to 24°C) for best germination. A seedling heat mat can be used if necessary.

• Transplanting:
  Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into their permanent location:

  • Space seedlings 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart.

  • Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and place the seedling in the hole.

  • Backfill with soil and gently press down to secure the plant.

  • Water thoroughly to help seedlings establish in their new location.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Regularly water to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods.

• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.

• Dividing: Divide mature plants every few years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.

• Pests: Monitor for slugs, snails, or aphids and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or other measures.

Happy Gardening!
