Frosted Violet Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage. The round-lobed leaves emerge purple-pink and gradually deepen to dark violet with darker veins and has small white hairs that give it a frosted look in the light. Airy clusters of tiny light pink bell-like flowers bloom on spires in late spring to early summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
