Dressed Up® 'Evening Gown' Coral Bells is a stunning perennial that adds remarkable texture and elegance to any landscape or container. Its huge 6-inch glossy black leaves with ruffled margins form a substantial, mounded habit that creates a striking visual impact. The best color and performance are achieved in part shade, where the deep, dramatic foliage truly shines. Tall flower scapes rise above the foliage, holding pink buds that open into delicate white flowers, providing a soft contrast to the dark leaves. With its low, mounding habit, 'Evening Gown' is perfect for edging along paths or enhancing containers, and the tall flower scapes make beautiful additions to fresh bouquets.
