Coral Bells, Green Spice Coral Bells

Green Spice Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage.  The broad-lobed green leaves with silver overlay and darker edges earn burgundy veins in cool weather before turning orange for fall.  Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring to early summer attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
