Amethyst Mist Coral Bells will grow to be about 20 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the
flowers, with a spread of 3 feet. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer
plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for
approximately 10 years.
This perennial performs well in both full sun and full shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist
conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat
tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in
exposed locations or colder zones. This plant can be propagated by division.
This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
