Flowering Time
May through August, depending on the variety.

Characteristics, Uses, and Fun Facts
These densely mounded perennials produces numerous sprays of white, pink, or red flowers from spring well into summer. Breeding has produced a wide range of foliage textures including smooth, wavy, and crinkled. Foliage colors include yellows, oranges, purples, silvers, ambers, whites, and greens. Because they require very little water or maintenance, and because they are showy all year, Coral Bells are great in mixed containers. They all benefit from well drained soils, partial shade and have become versatile, well-adapted plants for the Midwest garden. Heights listed are without flowers.
