Coral Bells are a versatile perennial. This villosa hybrids are known for their tidy mounding habit and excellent heat and humidity tolerance, is a terrific choice for adding a touch of colour towards the front of a border.

Remove any winter-burned leaves in the spring, otherwise no pruning is required. Part of the villosa Collection from Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc., Oregon. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
