Dale's Strain Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its basal foliage. The lobed leaves emerge chartreuse with olive green marbling and green veins that matures to silvery blue with dark purple veins. 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.
