Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Plum Pudding' Coral Bells has beautiful dark purple leaves and forms medium sized clumps. Landscapes always look best with a variety of colors such as green, yellow, and purple/red - 'Plum Pudding' is a fantastic choice for adding dark colors and looks especially good when planted right against yellow or golden colored plants.
When planted with some shade, the leaves will be lighter in color and reveal the dark veins with a touch of silver around the edges.
Zn 4. Shiny, silvery, plum-purple leaves
This older cultivar is still around today because it is such a good plant. The shiny foliage is a rich shimmering plummy purple. Plants have a tight habit. It is an excellent foil for variegated, silvered and golden plants.
A clump forming perennial. Beautiful purple ruffled oak leaves tier to form compact mounds in light shade. Small white flowers on long stems are produced in late spring or summer. Very attractive foliage plants for moist shade.
