Description

Black Pearl Coralbells offers a showstopping statement with its dramatic, glossy foliage in a deep, near-black hue that holds strong from spring through fall. In early to midsummer, slender flower spikes rise above the tidy mound, producing delicate white blooms that can draw butterflies for added interest. This stunning perennial maintains a fresh, modern appearance and also thrives in containers, making it a beautiful addition to decks and patios. Deer typically bypass its thick, textural leaves, resulting in a satisfying and long-lasting presence in the landscape.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in partial shade to full sun, preferring at least 4–6 hours of light daily. In hotter regions, midday shade helps maintain its refreshing foliage.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil; mixing organic matter into heavier soils promotes better drainage and overall health.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish robust roots. Once mature, it tolerates brief dry periods but appreciates consistent moisture, especially in extended heat.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps regulate soil temperature and conserve moisture; leave a small gap around the crowns for airflow.
  • Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to maintain a tidy appearance. Trim away any damaged or weathered leaves in early spring for a refreshing start to the new season.

Black Pearl Coralbells brings a grand dose of elegance to Michigan landscapes, delivering a gorgeous fusion of dramatic foliage and delicate blooms for a genuinely magnificent display year after year.
