Berry Smoothie Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its vibrant basal foliage. The broad round-lobed leaves emerge metallic rose-pink and gradually deepen to rose-purple as it matures. Airy clusters of tiny soft pink bell-like flowers bloom on spires from late spring into early summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Berry Smoothie is heat and humidity tolerant.
