How To Plant Cherry Cola Coral Bells
The Cherry Cola Coral Bell is fairly easy to grow due to its adaptability. Either planted in full sun or partial shade, you won't miss out on the vibrant foliage this shrub has to offer. They are accepting of most soils as long as they provide good drainage. Tolerant of drought and deer with minimal requirements, plant this bad boy and make your neighbors swoon over the colors!
How To Water
Once planted you will want to make sure you are providing enough water for your Cherry Cola Coral Bells to survive. This process is quite simple. We recommend watering at a minimum of twice a week until the shrub is established. Once established, you may lessen the amount of water applied to once a week. Although the Cherry Cola Coral Bells offer tolerance to drought, we advise keeping an eye on local weather conditions and watering during those periods, as well as other inclement weather such as high heat.
How To Fertilize
When should you feed your Cherry Cola Coral Bells? At the time of planting, incorporate fertilizer to the planting site - this can be considered the first feeding. If you planted your perennial in spring, the next feeding can take place in the fall. If planting in the fall, the following spring will be the next feeding. Continue this process for the life of your plant and enjoy healthy, happy, growth.
How To Prune
The process of pruning your Cherry Cola Coral Bells is quite simple, seeing as pruning is only required if you chose to do so for a more tidy appearance! After the blooms have faded, the stalks may be removed, there is a chance this could encourage a second bloom. Lucky you! When the season has come to an end, this perennial tends to die back to the ground. At this point, you may remove the old foliage to make way for new growth the following season or let it ride out the winter, providing cover for insects and adding nutrients to the soil for newer growth.

Shipping Delays:

Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
