Named for the nodding bell-shaped flowers, coral bells are primarily grown for the evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage, which comes in a range of colors and shapes. This versatile perennial is tolerant of different light and soil conditions and needs little maintenance, making it virtually foolproof even for beginning gardeners. Use in a woodland border, as a ground cover, pathway edging, or in containers in combination with other plants.
