For years, I have been back and forth on coral bells. Mostly because they look like this in my garden and they look stunning in Linda's garden. If I could grow coral bells that looked like Linda's, it would seem well worth the effort. Plus, they often winter-kill in my garden. I am sure they are one of those plants labelled for my zone - just barely. The kind of plant that makes you wonder if someone is snickering into their sleeve when they label them! Of course, everytime I think of giving up on them, I catch a scene like this. With the light coming through the leaf, this little thing is a fall stunner! Now if I could only get it to grow taller than 3 inches and have more than 3 leaves.
