Electric Plum Coral Bells is a compact evergreen perennial with large foliage that emerges near black and lightens to intense purple with dramatic black veining. Flower scapes sporting tiny cream bell-like flowers last from summer into fall attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Improved heat and humidity tolerance.
