Large than most coralbells, with a striking garden presence. Leaves clump up into almost a bowling ball shape. Always gets attention. Dark maroon/brown leaves with an eye-catching silver network overlaying the whole thing. Flowers easily in partial shade and taller flowers than most, at least two feet high. Tough, durable grower, not especially bothered by odd weather conditions.
