Why plant Georgia Peach Coral Bells?
Scrumptious! Georgia Peach Coral Bells will be a sweet sight in your beds, borders, or patio containers. This sublime Spirit stands out for its large, luscious foliage that goes through fascinating color changes throughout the year. The scalloped leaves start off in spring with warm pinkish-orange tones, the upper surface dusted with a delicate frosting of silver. In fall and winter, rich burgundy-pink hues take over. Gorgeous. Not simply pretty, Georgia Peach is also tough, performing well even in the South. It was bred to tolerate heat and humidity, and it handles hot climates as gracefully as any Georgia belle.
Coral Bells are native Spirits that grow all over North America in different forms. Up until the 1990s, gardeners considered them to be nice garden plants, but nothing too spectacular. Then breeders began to make crosses, and exciting new Coral Bells in brilliant colors began to appear. The charge was led by talented plantsman Dan Heims of Terra Nova Nurseries in Canby, Oregon. Heims and his team developed this selection, too. The Terra Nova crew used especially heat-tolerant parent plants to produce Georgia Peach Coral Bells. It hit the market in 2007 and continues to be a favorite among gardeners in both the North and South.
