Delta Dawn Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a clumping habit grown for its vibrant basal foliage. The large round-lobed leaves emerge gold to chartreuse with bright coral red centers in spring and transitions to red veining before becoming completely lime green in fall. 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.
