How to Grow
Light: Thrive in shade, and very colorful varieties will get better color in part shade. The color can wash out in full sun, and too much heat and light can cause the leaves to scorch.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not consistently wet to prevent root rot.
Spacing: 1.5 feet apart
Fertilizing: An application of all purpose of garden fertilizer can be applied in spring.
Winterizing: Mulch in a 2-3" layer around the base will prevent freezing and thawing that can heave plants roots.
Features: Winter interest, rare & unusual, rabbit resistant, proven winners, native, heat tolerant, drought tolerant, deer resistant, container plants, cold tolerant, best sellers, best for beginners
Maintenance & pruning: In spring clean up old tattered leaves before new growth starts to emerge too robustly. Cut back the entire flower stalk after flowering to put the plant's energy into growing more leaves.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
These plants arrived in horrible condition. It's pretty hard to believe. Not only that, there is only a couple of leaves on each one .
Hello! We’re sorry that you received plants that are not up to our standards. We try our best to provide excellent plants, but some factors, like shipping and handling, are outside our control. That’s why we have a 60-day guarantee on all of our orders. Please email your order number and pictures of your plants to [email protected] to start the claims process.

I paid way too much money for the plants received. They were very young plants with few leaves and underdeveloped root system. Not worth the money and I would not recommend this company to my garden friends.
We’re so sorry your plants arrived smaller than expected. We grow our plants in multiple crops of varying ages so we can maintain inventory throughout the season as our more mature plants sell through. Because of this, we often have the same variety growing in different stages throughout the greenhouse. This issue is very rare, but it appears our shipping team may have accidentally pulled plants from a younger crop, which is why the plants you received are not as fully rooted as expected. We’d be more than happy to make this right by either sending replacement plants or issuing a refund. We look forward to helping!
We received 6 choral bells on May 23rd. The plants seemed small for the price. Planted two days later, and currently they are not doing well. We have cared for them as we have the rest of our flowers. Did not meet expectations.
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to [email protected] to start the claims process if necessary. We look forward to helping!
Very happy how the holiday decorations came up.
Ordered over $100 of plants. All arrived looking worse for wear, but two in particular were dead and shriveled. When I reached out to customer service, they advised to just plant them and they would be ok, blaming transit for the condition. I have ordered a multitude a plants online before from other websites and have never had an issue. P.S. I planted them as advised. They're still dead.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback and providing a photo. I'm sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with our customer service team. Your plant does look shocked from transit. This can happen due to the nature of shipping live plants in dark boxes across the country. However, your plant does look to be alive in the photo. When plants arrive a little shocked due to transit, we always advice our customers to plant their new plants. More often than not, the plants do bounce back and flourish quickly! If your plants are looking worse, please send an email with photos to [email protected] and we will process your warranty if your plants are truly dead. We have never not stood by our guarantee. Happy Gardening!
Keeping her indoors til hot summer winds are over. Still beautiful and healthy!
First time buyer. Not pleased with the maturity and the condition of plant. I work for a national commercial grower of veggies and herbs so I suspect these were moved to ready by accident or picked the wrong plants. It happens but as I and my company stand behind our product I hope you will too. I will see how this turns out and go from there…

Everything was fine except Heuchera. Looks like freshly container upsized transplants. Not rooted in very well and subpar canopy. Mainly one to two leaves. Other other plants look to be in good shape and healthy and better rooted in.

This plant arrived healthy and beautifully packaged. I can't wait to plant it. I would buy from this seller again and I did.
The plants arrived dislodged from the containers and soil because they were packed and shipped laying down and not upright. Bad idea. One of the plants has struggled to survive, the other two are doing at best only fair. The same day these arrived I bought the same kind of plant at Walmart at half the cost and it was a larger, more healthy plant than what arrived from GGP.

I ordered a bunch of coral bells for a boarder and they’re doing great. It’s not mature yet but I’m hoping next year it will
fill in nicely.
I made an order through Great Garden Plants about a month ago, which included a variety of Coral Bells and a Hydrangea. I was amazed at the quick processing and mailing of the order. I did have an issue with FedEx as they pushed back the delivery for 2-3 days...for whatever reason. I got the impression the order sat on a truck for that period. My plants finally arrived and all but one were what I would consider very healthy plants. One of the Coral bells was in poor condition and didn't make it for a week after planting. I contacted Great Garden Plants about replacement and provided the necessary information, and had a healthy replacement plant within 3 days. Their product, and especially response time is awesome. ALL of the plants are now thriving after being in the ground for a while. I can't ask for a better experience.

We have a barn red house, & these beautiful leaved coral bells set against green shrubbery, just glow. They are spectacular when the sun shines thru the leaves. Very easy to care for & great for sun to shade situations. It all looks so coordinated & quite lovely with white daisies & blue salvia & Blue Denim Russian Sage. I would say the same thing about Forever Red Coral Bells, which I also have planted!
Very nice
Nice addition to shade garden.
The Coral Bells I received from you all are beautiful, lots of color and a good root system...I am very pleased
As described
Got the replacement flowers and planted them, it has rained several days and there turning brown already

Much to my surprise, my plants arrived looking much better than expected! Both the heucheras and Japanese anemones were dry when they arrived (having been diverted by shipping down to Phoenix and 114 degree weather. They arrived a day later than expected up in the cool White Mountains, but revived quickly with shade and a deep watering. 'Can't wait to plant them in another day or two of getting acclimated!
