Coral Bells, Caramel

Coral Bells ‘Caramel’ earns its name with ruffled foliage in warm shades of apricot and caramel that glow from spring through fall. The color holds best in partial shade with steady, moderate moisture, where the leaves pick up rosy undertones as the seasons turn. Airy sprays of soft pink flowers rise on slender stems in summer, drawing butterflies to the border. Forming a neat mound about a foot tall, it’s perfect for edging a path, layering at the front of a bed, or filling a container with season-long color. A nativar bred from North American natives, it pairs the toughness of the species with refined good looks. Deer and rabbits tend to leave its handsome leaves alone.
