  • Description

  • Notes

'Palace Purple' was one of the the first red-leafed coral bells introduced. It is variable in height and color (source is key), they generally have purple to bronze to dark green foliage that is sharply lobed, and they grow about 18 to 20 inches tall and wide. Flowers are white and bloom early spring. While it tolerates shade, leaf color is best with some sun. Some plants are seed-source, and so leaf-color varies.
