Red Lightning Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a clumping habit grown for its vibrant basal foliage. The large round-lobed leaves emerge chartreuse with dark red veining in spring that becomes stronger as the foliage mature to gold. Airy clusters of white bell-like flowers bloom on spires from midsummer into fall attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
