Carnival Candy Apple Coral Bells is a native evergreen herbaceous perennial with a clumping habit grown for its vibrant basal foliage. The round-lobed leaves emerge deep red, and matures to shades of brick red with copper highlights or apple green with silver highlights. Airy clusters of white bell-like flowers bloom on spires from late spring into midsummer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
