Miracle Coral Bells

Plant Description: A clump-forming coral bell that is appreciated for its color changing foliage. Springtime leaves emerge in a bright chartreuse color with red accents.

In early summer, dainty, light pink blossoms sit atop long, slender stems that rise high above the colorful foliage.
