USDA Zone: 4-9
Coral Bells are a versatile perennial. In spring, this selection features semi-glossy leaves that emerge metallic pink and mature to a dark berry pink with darker veining as the season progresses. Plant in filtered light or shade in order to protect the lighter colouration and bring out the best hue. Pink flowers sprays appear in summer. A terrific choice for adding a touch of colour towards the front of a border. Remove any winter-burned leaves in the spring, otherwise no pruning is required.
