Cracked Ice Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a clumping habit. The rounded-lobe leaves that create a basal mound are heavily frosted silver-green with deep veins that gain pink tints in the cooler weather of spring and fall. Tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on short spikes in late spring and summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
