Coral Bells Silver Gumdrop #1

Dainty spikes of vibrant coral colored bells, rise from silver leaves that take on rosy tones later in the season; amazing contrast to other plants; great versatility; keep soil moist in heat of summer. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.. Dolce® Silver Gumdrop Coral Bells is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a ‘thriller’ in the ‘spiller-thriller-filler’ container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
