Striking, provocative, and beautiful. That is another excellent coral bells variety bred by Jane N.Egger from the famous Oregon based Terra Nova Nurseries in the USA. It is called Cherry Cola and has medium-sized, only slightly ruffled leaves with rounded lobes. Their colour is an extraordinary shade of red grapefruit flesh - a mixture of deep salmon pink and reddish-brown. In late April about 40 cm tall, slender stems rise above the foliage, producing tiny, cherry red flowers in erect panicles for 2-3 months in several flushes. Patented in 2012 as PP22,967.

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.
