Shiny leaves in shades of deep olive green to bronzy purple with purple undersides and cream flowers.
Perennial of the Year 1991
This selection was the first of many purple-leaved Coral Bells, and is still an excellent choice for towards the edge of the border, or in containers and tubs. Plants form a low mound of maple-shaped leaves, from bronzy-green to rich purple-red. Spikes of small creamy-white flowers appear in early summer. In hot summer areas a part shade location will help to prevent the leaf colour from fading. Evergreen in mild winter areas, but plants may be clipped hard in early spring. Division is not always easy, but can be attempted in spring.
Blooms early to mid summer.
Winter hardy, Container plant, attracts butterflies deer resistant, cut flower.
