Midnight Rose is a coral bells variety with very dark foliage. The leaves are large, deep purple red, almost black with rosy pink spots. In June and July small grayish-pink flowers appear atop 65-75 tall stems but if you think they spoil the image of the perfect leaves you can cut them off yet before they begin to bloom. The leaves remain nice and healthy until late autumn and even winter, still, we suggest removing them all in early spring to encourage new growths. Bred by Terri C.Poindexter from Terra Nova Nurseries and patented under PP18,551 in 2008.

Coral bells can take almost any soil, as well as full sun and humidity. For best results grow it in humus-rich, constantly moist soil in full sun or part shade. Fully hardy to abt. -34°C (USDA zone 4) and can be grown in outdoor pots.
