Coral bells are one of the only shade tolerant *perennial plants that looks good almost all year, unlike plants that are just greenery when the flowers die. I'm SO glad I planted them in the front of my home. (Northeast facing.)
@@b.p.9936 I have that too. Love it. It doesn't like to be watered either. Whatever type I have had two tone whitish green sage colored leaves and purple flowers.
I’ve got some of the dark ones in full sun and they have been super easy to grow and have had little flowers pretty much all summer. Much more happy in the light than my hostas (although the hostas have done pretty good this year in full sun).
I am new to these plants and bought some on a whim at the garden center. They have quickly become one of my favorites. I have a mix of extreme sun and shade in my front landscaping, so these are perfect for me. I am thinking of making a hedge out of them. I have them mixed with hostas and dusty millers. The garden has such a feel of whimsy. Your discussion was so helpful to me. Thank you. I am in Zone 7, by the way.
I am slowly getting 1 a week now to add under a giant oak tree we have, all mine have to be keep in large pots until we get our oak trimmed up. Then I get to remake the flowerbed for all my hosta and coral bells.
Also, if possible please tell us the best place to buy these Cora bells and also what time of year is best for the good selection........I am very impressed with this video.......thanks Noelle ✅❤✅❤❤❤❤
I bought some coral bells and was about to plant them, but I have heavy clay soil. I've amended it in the past, but when I dig down, I see clay again. Is this something I have to do every single year? Or every couple of years?
Applying Soil Perfector to heavy clay soils will persist forever, so if you can add that every time you plant something new in the hole, it will help. Also, adding organic amendments (composts, planting mix, peat, manure, etc.) with help increase drainage and soil workability, but it doesn't persist like the Soil Perfector does. With coral bells, they are shallow rooted, so a deep planting is not needed, keeping their crown about 1-2 inches above the ground level. Regular deep watering 1x per week and mulching afterward are very beneficial. shop.petittigardencenter.com/products/soil-perfector-reg--1cf-368.html

Another great one for the shade is Purple Dragon Spotted Deadnettle. There are other varieties, but they have beautiful foilage as well.

If I'm able to keep them alive, they are my favorite shade plant!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

For my humid area (6B-Southern Indiana) the Villosa variety are the best. They do very well.
Gorgeous. Planted my first coral bells yesterday.

I wish I was near you. Have been to so many garden centers and they only have the same coral bells all the time. No varieties.
How long do they last. I have not had good luck with them
How can I buy them at a good price i have a few and I love them

LOVE THIS
But they only last 3 or so years correct?
Noelle, (Horticulturist), do you have a Facebook page we can go to and "like" ......I just watched you the first time here on my ROKU....
What’s the difference from Heucherella and Tiarella?
A Heucherella is a combination of a Heuchera and Tiarella. They combine the disease resistance of tiarellas with the desirable foliage of heucheras.
