Delta Dawn Heuchera PP# 23545 | Coral Bells ‘Delta Dawn’
The beautiful foliage of the Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' brings a splash of color to any garden setting. Its leaves display an attractive seasonal contrast of gold and lime green, with red centers which is both enticing and ever-changing. Along with its eye-catching foliage, 'Delta Dawn' is known for its delicate, airy flower spikes that are embellished with small, bell-shaped blossoms. These flowers, which come in a variety of pastel pinks and whites, are a lovely accent to the plant's overall appearance. Encrusted with intricately lobed leaves, the compact mounds of 'Delta Dawn' create a verdant and textural show. The foliage goes through a rainbow of colors as the seasons change. In spring, it's all peach and pink, and in summer, it fades to lime green with burgundy undertones. Throughout fall and winter, it's all lime green.
When it comes to general garden care, Heuchera 'Delta Dawn' is low maintenance and requires little attention. Keep your plant alive and well all year round by following these easy steps:
Planting Tips:
Because too much sunshine can burn the fragile foliage, it is important to choose a spot that gets partial to full shade when planting. To enhance fertility and water retention, amend the soil with compost or organic materials and make sure it drains well.
Watering:
Whether it's a dry spell or extremely hot weather, make sure the soil is consistently moist but not soaked. In order to promote the growth of strong roots, water the plant thoroughly at its base.
Use our MOISTURE MAXX non-ionic wetting agent all year or during times of drought for extended help keeping your plants well hydrated for up to 40 days.
Mulching:
To control soil temperature, suppress weeds, and retain moisture, spread a layer of compost or shredded bark around the plant's base. To avoid decay, space the mulch slightly apart from the plant's stem.
Pruning:
When pruning, take care to remove diseased or damaged leaves as soon as possible to keep the plant looking good and to stop it from spreading. If you want your flowers to bloom nonstop and spur new growth, you should also prune the spent stalks.
Fertiliing:
Feed 'Delta Dawn' in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like SR-18-5-10 according to the rates specified by the manufacturer. If you want your plants to produce more flowers and less foliage, you should avoid over-fertilizing.
