Fancy-leaf Coral Bells

As a group, the Hybrid Coral Bells offer the gardener a tremendous new range of foliage colours. This selection features rich purple-red leaves, with a contrasting display of bright red flowers held above in loose sprays. An excellent choice for rock gardens, edging, the perennial border and in tubs or containers. Remove faded flower stems at the base to encourage repeat blooming. Happy in sun or partial shade. Any tired-looking foliage may be pruned off in spring. USPP#13215: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
