Plum Pudding is a coral bells variety with dark plum purple leaves with rich silvery grey marbling. Leaves are palmate with rounded lobes and only slightly undulated margins. Reverse sides are rich purple red. Flowers are borne atop 60 cm tall, slender stems in May and June. They can be cut off if only beautiful foliage is what you desire.

Coral bells can take almost any soil, as well as full sun and humidity. For best results grow it in humus-rich, constantly moist soil in full sun or part shade. Cut of all leaves in early spring to encourage growth of new leaves. Fully hardy to abt. -34°C (USDA zone 4) and can be grown in outdoor pots.
