Description | An excellent choice for cool, mid to high elevation gardens. Coral bells is notable for its ability to bloom beautifully even in reasonably heavy shade. Out of basal leaves rises a thin flower stalk with pink blooms in the warm months, this is a reliable bloomer. Plants often occur in habitat on duff covered slopes, so in a garden a well draining soil with organic matter and/or mulch will be ideal. |
