Blackout Coral Bells is a tidy compact evergreen herbaceous perennial with rounded, near-black lobed foliage that has a gloss that lends a wet appearance in bright light. Tiny creamy white bell-like flowers bloom on spikes in summer into fall attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Heat and humidity tolerant.
