How to Grow
Light: Thrives in the shade and very colorful varieties will get better color in part sun. 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: 22 - 28" 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 the plant's roots.
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.
I have had three separate orders from Great Gardens Plants and have received all plants in great condition. If you are thinking about ordering, this is my FAVORITE online perennial shop. Plants are very carefully packed and hydrated, every plant has been a success!
Satisfied on this plant. It is a pretty large and full plant in its pot. Nice new leaves have emerged when I got the package. Very well packaged and there was no damage on the plant.
MM really adds pop to the garden bed .. she’s in our trial bed & has been thriving since i planted mid May
Here she is hanging out with Jack of diamonds (GGP) Solar Eclipse huecherella - cordial canary (from GGP)
& some annual begonias
So pretty! I am obsessed with coral bells! These arrived looking healthy and happy in a well packaged container
They looked good when I planted them./ SO good, the rabbits ate them all that night.
Beautiful
Healthy plants. Lovely colors.
Highly recommend.
Nice
Very poor shipping. Hardly any soil in containers as box wasn’t labeled properly. The plants looked horrible. They won’t replace or refund
We do require photos in order to process all warranty claims, if you are able to submit those we are happy to assist you with your warranty!
Look great in the garden.
This plant is out of this world,it,s so perfect 😍 just love it
The quality of these plants is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. When they say the plants will be delivered, they are delivered and packaged to guarantee no damage in shipping. Love everything about this company and their plants.
Are coral bells deer resistant
Yes, coral bells are deer resistant!
Do Coral Bells do well in Arizona....like southern AZ. I am wondering if it would do well in a pot, as I am down here mid-Oct through mid-
April. Would it have enough time to bloom before I leave the state for WA. where my other home is located. I know coral bells do very well in WA.
Most coral bells are rated for USDA zones 4-9. As long as your Arizona home is within one of those zones, you should be good to grow!
Does these grow flowers like Blue Bell 's
No - they are not a bulb, they are perennial with a fibrous root system and are present all year round.
