How to Grow Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls'
Growing Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls' Coral Bells is a rewarding and relatively simple process. Follow these guidelines to ensure your plants thrive:
1. Site Selection
Choose a location that receives partial shade to protect the foliage from scorching sun exposure. However, 'Silver Scrolls' can also tolerate full sun in cooler climates. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
2. Soil Preparation
Prepare the planting area by incorporating organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and drainage. This will provide the perfect foundation for your Coral Bells to thrive.
3. Planting
Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball of the plant. Gently remove the plant from its container and position it in the hole, ensuring the crown sits slightly above ground level. Backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the roots.
4. Watering and Maintenance
Water the newly planted Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls' thoroughly and ensure the soil remains consistently moist until it establishes a strong root system. Once established, provide regular watering during dry spells and hot summer months. Applying a layer of organic mulch around the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
5. Pruning and Propagation
Remove any dead or damaged foliage throughout the growing season to maintain the plant's overall appearance and health. To propagate 'Silver Scrolls,' you can divide the clumps every few years in early spring or fall, replanting them in suitable locations.

The beauty of Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls' Coral Bells is its versatility, enabling it to enhance a wide range of garden styles. Here are some design ideas and complementary plants to inspire your creativity:
