Foliage perennial with changing leaf colour. Early spring leaves are purple, and as temperatures increase, leaf colour changes to green with dark veins. Good seed vigour and germination allows for more uniform plants. Excellent vigour for great pot and garden performance.

This Coral Bells selection sports handsome colourful foliage. It forms a low mound of ruffled bronzy-brown leaves, the new leaves tinted red when they first appear. Taller stems produce sprays of small white flowers in late spring. Excellent for edging in sun to part shade. Remove any damaged leaves in spring, otherwise no pruning is required. May need protection from afternoon sun in regions with hot and humid summers. If plants become leggy or woody at the base, just lift them in early autumn or spring and replant with the crowns placed lower down in the soil. The first ruffled-edge strain to be offered from seed.

These are the old-fashioned style of Coral Bells, grown for their bright display of flowers in early summer.

Terrific for edging, in the rock garden, or in tubs. Evergreen in mild winter regions. Remove any brown or ugly leaves in the spring. Plan to divide carefully every 3 to 4 years to maintain vigour.
