Product description
Heuchera Marvelous Marble is grown for its beautifully patterned foliage, with leaves combining shades of purple, green, and silver with darker veining. Also known as Coral Bells, this variety has a neat, rounded habit that works well in hanging baskets and containers, where the detailed leaves can be appreciated up close. Supplied as a pack of 6 plants, the foliage provides plenty of interest through autumn and winter, while small flowers appear on upright stems in spring as an added feature.
Plant Coral Bells in good-quality, free-draining compost and position it in partial shade or a spot with some morning or afternoon sun. Water well after planting to help the plants establish, then avoid keeping the compost constantly wet. Remove any tired or damaged leaves to keep the plants looking tidy and cut back old flower stems once flowering has finished. Hardy and easy to grow, Heuchera is a useful choice for adding colour and texture to baskets and containers throughout the year.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Once the delicate flower spikes have faded, remove them to help keep the basket display looking neat and tidy. Coral Bells are mainly grown for their colourful purple-bronze leaves, so removing spent flowers helps keep the focus on the attractive foliage.
How to Water
Water Heuchera regularly after planting to help the roots establish, keeping the compost lightly moist but not waterlogged. During warm or dry periods, check the compost more frequently and water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry, as basket plants can lose moisture faster than those grown in the ground.
How to Plant
For a colourful basket display, use a good quality, moisture-retentive but free-draining compost and position Coral Bells plants evenly to allow their natural mounding habit to develop. Set each plant at the same depth it was growing in the carry tray, firm the compost gently around the roots, and water well after planting to help the plants settle in.
