Green Spice Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage. The broad-lobed green leaves with silver overlay and darker edges earn burgundy veins in cool weather before turning orange for fall. Airy clusters of tiny white bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring to early summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
