Delta Dawn Coral Bells
Delta Dawn Coral Bells is aptly named. A brilliant colorful tropical sunrise does echo in its dark red veined and centered leaves with contrasting gold and chartreuse edging. A definite tropical vibe. The color development varies with time and sun exposure. Green to start, with red veins, more red tones with more sun and towards the end of the summer, but the chartreuse edging remains consistent. White flowers scapes appear in late spring to early summer adding height and a frothy aspect, but the foliage is the outstanding feature. Mature size is a leafy clump 8 inches tall b y 12 inches wide, flowers can increase the height to 24 inches. Would look fantastic in a mixed container planting, front of a shady perennial border or used in partial shade as a groundcover. It will attract bees, hummingbirds and is resistant to deer. The foliage is attractive through winter in milder climates. Introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries in 2011.
