Description

Caramel Coralbells showcases stunning, apricot-hued foliage that matures to a refreshing amber shade as the season unfolds. In late spring to early summer, airy spires of delicate flowers rise above the vibrant leaves, adding a satisfying layer of interest to the landscape. This showstopper also adapts beautifully to containers, delivering a fresh splash of color in shaded patios or entryways. Deer generally avoid its textural foliage, ensuring it remains a statement piece all season long.

General Care

• Sunlight: Performs best in partial shade to filtered sun, requiring at least a few hours of indirect light daily.
• Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil; incorporating organic matter enhances drainage and supports healthy growth.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season; once established, it appreciates regular watering in extended heat but tolerates brief dry spells.
• Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and maintain moderate soil temperatures; keep mulch slightly away from crowns.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and tattered leaves as needed to maintain a tidy appearance; cut back old foliage in early spring for a fresh start.

Caramel Coralbells provides a magnificent accent to Michigan landscapes with its gorgeous foliage and airy blooms, offering a grand blend of color and texture throughout the growing season.
