Dressed Up Evening Gown Coral Bells is a striking perennial known for its ornamental foliage and delicate blooms. The plant features large, ruffled leaves in a deep, velvety purple-black hue, giving it a luxurious appearance reminiscent of an elegant evening gown. The foliage retains its vivid coloration throughout the growing season, providing a continuous display of dark, dramatic color. In late spring to early summer, slender, wiry stems rise above the foliage, bearing clusters of tiny, bell-shaped flowers in shades of white or light pink. These flowers add a delicate contrast to the dark foliage and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
