Magma Coral Bells (#1)

Choose Magma Coral Bells if you need dark red foliage in a shaded bed, especially near foundations or hostas. The tradeoff: it gives color by leaves, not big flowers, and it wants soil that does not dry out hard.

Buy This If

• You want red foliage in shade.
• You need a compact border plant.
• You prefer texture over flowers.

Skip This If

• Your bed dries out often.
• You want tall blooms.
• Your site gets harsh afternoon sun.

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Magma Coral Bells near lighter hostas, stone, or mulch where the leaf color can stand out. Keep it out of dry, exposed spots and water during long dry stretches.

Plant Facts

Customers Usually Ask

Does it bloom?

Yes, but buy it for foliage first; the flowers are secondary.

Can it grow in a container?

Yes, as long as the pot drains and does not dry out repeatedly.

Will it spread everywhere?

No, it forms a clump rather than running through the bed.
