Growing Coral Bell Firefly: Many gardeners recommend that Coral Bells seeds be stratified, which means that they must be refrigerated and put through a cold period lasting several weeks. Once the flower seed has been refrigerated for several weeks, it can be sown indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last frost. Using quality starter mix and starter trays, sow Heuchera seeds into cells, pressing the flower seeds into the soil. Keep Heuchera Sanguinea seed moist. When temperature are consistently warm outdoors and danger of frost has passed, young Heuchera seedlings can be hardened off and moved outdoors.
