Dale's Strain Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its basal foliage.  The lobed leaves emerge chartreuse with olive green marbling and matures to silvery blue with green veining.  Airy clusters of tiny pink bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring to early summer attracting butterflies.  Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low maintenance.  Potential issues include powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and frost heaving of roots if winter temperatures fluctuate widely.  Will grow slowly in heavy shade.

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Naturalized Areas, Native Gardens, Rock Gardens, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:   Lenten Rose, Hosta, Painted Fern
