Growing the Heavy Blooming ‘Rave On’ Coral Bells

What an invaluable and excellent plant for partly shaded borders, under trees, and even mixed into ornamental containers on shady patios. Rave On Coral Bells can also be planted for the rock garden, to line a path, or it does well in the light shade of a woodland.

An interesting and easy to care for perennial, it is one of the heaviest blooming Coral Bells. Rave On has flowers that are lifted above the foliage clumps on flower spikes that grow about 2' tall.

The deep green leaves with purple veining grow in clumps anywhere from 8 to 20 inches. Rave On has foliage that has a rounded growth habit, and then showcases dense clusters of eye-catching pink flowers in the late spring or early summer. These clusters of bell-shaped blooms will add spectacular color to your garden for several weeks. This lovely shade perennial prefers part to half shade, but in colder climates would like full sun with humus rich, evenly moist and well-drained soil.
