Stainless Steel Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage. The round-lobed leaves emerge silver with light purple veining and mature to seafoam green with silver overlay and eggplant purple undersides. Pink buds open to airy clusters of tiny snow white bell-like flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Stainless Steel is heat and humidity tolerant.
