When Should I Prune My Heuchera Dolce Toffee Tart?
We recommend pruning your perennial as soon as you notice the blossoms beginning to die off. Your Heuchera will produce new flowers, but you can help promote the process by pruning off the entire flower stalk. Doing so will allow your plant to focus its energy on growing new flower stalks and blossoming flowers rather than focusing energy on dead or dying parts of the plant. Also, if you notice any dead or dying foliage or branches, feel free to prune them off carefully. Doing so will allow your plant's energy to focus on growing healthy instead of focusing on fixing what is already dead or dying.
How Much Sunlight Should My Heuchera 'Toffee Tart' Receive?
In general, Coral Bells Toffee Tart perennials thrive in shaded areas of a garden or landscape. This particular cultivar of Heuchera Dolce perennials should not receive full sunlight. It is crucial not to give this plant full sun because its leaves are lightly colored, and the sun will strip them of their color quickly. Optimal sunlight for your brightly colored Heuchera would be a few hours of morning sunlight and partially to fully shaded time in the afternoon. Some evening sun exposure is okay since the sun's rays are not as intense as midday.
What is the Best Soil for my Heuchera Toffee Tart Plants?

Overly wet soil conditions for your plant will cause root rot disease; if not caught early, it can kill your plants. If you are unsure if it is time to water, wait a few days to ensure your plant's soil does not get too wet. Your plant will survive with dry soil for a little bit without any damage.
How Often Should I Water my Coral Bells Toffee Tart Plants?
