Black Pearl Coral Bells is an evergreen herbaceous perennial with a mounding habit grown for its dramatic basal foliage. The scalloped lobed leaves with ruffled edges stay glossy jet black with silver overlay year round even in full sun and have rosy purple undersides. Airy clusters of tiny creamy white bell-like flowers that bloom in summer attracting butterflies. Best bloom in partial sun and moist well-drained soils. Black Pearl is heat and humidity tolerant.
