Lime Marmalade Coral Bells is a striking perennial prized for its vibrant, lime-green foliage. The plant forms a lush mound of deeply lobed, ruffled leaves that maintain their brilliant color throughout the growing season. In the late spring to early summer, slender stems rise above the foliage, bearing delicate, bell-shaped white flowers. These flowers not only add a subtle beauty but also attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The contrast between the bright foliage and the dainty flowers makes this plant a standout in gardens and landscapes.
