Electric Lime Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial and a basal mound of round-lobed bright lime green leaves that earn bright red veins in cool weather. Tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring into summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
