Planting Tips

Where to Plant

Georgia Peach Coral Bells excel in shaded to partially shaded areas. They are ideal for under tree canopies or in spots that receive morning sun and afternoon shade.

Light

These plants prefer partial to full shade. They tolerate morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays, which can scorch their delicate leaves.

Soil

Georgia Peach Coral Bells thrive in well-draining soil. They prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH and benefit from organic matter incorporated into the soil.

Spacing

Space Georgia Peach Coral Bells about 15 to 20 inches apart. This spacing ensures adequate air flow, reducing the risk of fungal diseases and allowing for full growth.

When to Plant

The optimal planting times are spring or early fall. These cooler periods allow the plants to establish roots without the stress of extreme heat or cold.

How to Plant

Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Set the plant in, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.

Plant Care Tips

Watering

Georgia Peach Coral Bells require consistent moisture, especially in their first growing season. Once established, they are moderately drought-tolerant but still prefer regular watering.

Fertilizing

A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring promotes healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to weak growth and fewer leaves.

Pruning

Prune back spent flower stalks and remove any damaged leaves. This keeps the plants looking neat and encourages more robust growth.

By Season

 

Spring Care

Remove any winter debris and apply mulch to conserve moisture. This is also the time to fertilize and begin regular watering as new growth appears.

Summer Care

Continue regular watering, especially in dry spells. Monitor for any signs of stress due to heat, and provide extra water if needed.

Fall Care

Reduce watering as the plant prepares for dormancy. Apply a layer of mulch to protect the roots from freezing temperatures in winter.

Winter Care

Winter care is minimal. Ensure the plants are well-mulched, and avoid overwatering as the plants are dormant.
