Signs of Cold Stress in Bell heather

Symptoms

Bell heather tolerates cold well, but winter temperatures should stay above 32℉. If temperatures fall below this, no immediate changes might be seen, but branches could become brittle and dry in spring, with no new growth appearing.

Solutions

During spring, remove any dead branches that haven't produced new foliage.

Signs of Heat Stress in Bell heather

Symptoms

Bell heather does not handle high temperatures well. When temperatures go above 65℉, it might shed many leaves, and in severe cases, the whole plant could wilt and perish.

Solutions

Cut off any parts that are sunburned and dried. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
