Black Knight Coral Bells is a compact evergreen herbaceous perennial with a clumping habit. The crinkle-lobed leaves that create a basal mound emerge green and mature to near-black with tinges of silver and ruby undersides by summer. Tiny light pink bell-like flowers on tall spires in early summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
