Description
Obsidian Coral Bells is one of the darkest and most dramatic foliage perennials available, prized for its glossy, deep purple-black leaves that retain their rich color throughout the growing season without fading in the sun. Emerging burgundy in spring before maturing to nearly black, the foliage creates stunning contrast in mixed plantings, borders, and containers. In late spring and early summer, delicate spikes of creamy white bell-shaped flowers rise above the dark foliage, adding elegance while attracting hummingbirds to the garden. The bold foliage of Obsidian Coral Bells provides year-round interest and serves as a striking backdrop for brighter flowering plants.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Obsidian Coral Bells performs well in sun, partial shade, or full shade when planted in moist, well-drained soil. Its compact evergreen habit makes it an excellent choice for edging, mass plantings, rock gardens, groundcovers, and container combinations. Whether used as a focal point or paired with lighter foliage plants for contrast, this exceptional variety adds depth, texture, and sophisticated color to the landscape.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
