Citronelle Coral Bells feature citron yellow leaves with silver undersides when in part shade. As it receives more shade, the leaves become more chartreuse in color. However, this coral bell does not care for dense shade and will burn with too much sun. Tiny, creamy white bell-shaped flowers are found rising above the mounds of foliage in summer. The foliage color helps create amazing contrast and texture compared to other plants in shady areas. It has great versatility, being utilized in shade gardens, containers, and semi-shady locations. Be sure keep soil moist in the heat of summer, as coral bells do not like drying out. On the flip side, they will not tolerate poor draining soils. Do not cut this plant back in the fall; instead, remove any dead and tattered foliage in spring. Do not cut this plant back in the fall; instead, remove any dead and tattered foliage in spring. Both foliage and flowers can be used in fresh floral bouquets.
