The clump grows to approximately 25 cm in height and spreads 50 cm; use these dimensions to position the plant at the front and lower edge of a bed.

In terms of cultivation, Coral Bells ‘Wild Rose’ prefers sun to shade exposure; the recommended soil is humus-rich, retaining its freshness during growth, without stagnant water around the collar. For Coral Bells ‘Wild Rose’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it should remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (sun to shade) does not eliminate water needs.

The indicated hardiness level is zone 4, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.

Throughout the seasons, Coral Bells ‘Wild Rose’ benefits from timely care: remove damaged leaves without burying the crown and protect the foliage from scorching sun if the soil dries out quickly. Freezing and thawing can lift the heuchera's crown; check in spring that the roots remain in good contact with the soil. For companion planting, consider daylilies, perennial geraniums, and campanulas of varieties with similar needs. By composing around its volume of 25 cm by 50 cm, you will preserve the visibility of its blooms (July) and the circulation between plants.
