#ProPlantTips for Care:
The mounded Perennial foliage gleams in full shade...and shines in full sunshine! Nothing could be easier! Make sure they get consistent water and carefully pull the winter-dried leaves off in springtime. When planting, take care not to dig them in too deep...keep the upper inch of nursery soil showing above ground. We do recommend well-drained soil and Nature Hills Root Booster during planting time. The symbiotic ingredients make a world of difference over the entire life of these beautiful ground-hugging accent plants. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around to cover the root system. Then, scoot the mulch back away from directly touching your extraordinary Silver Coral Bells. Grow Northern Exposure™ Silver Coral Bells across most of the United States. It's wildy cold-hardy and heat tolerant, and deer simply choose not to bother with them.
