Obsidian Coral Bells is a stunning ornamental perennial known for its glossy, deep purple-black foliage that maintains its dramatic color throughout the growing season. The leaves form a compact mound of ruffled, rounded foliage that creates an excellent contrast against lighter-colored plants in the garden. In early summer, delicate sprays of tiny, bell-shaped white flowers appear on slender stems, hovering gracefully above the dark foliage.
Obsidian Coral Bells are relatively low-maintenance plants that thrive with minimal care. Remove any dead or damaged foliage in early spring to promote healthy growth. While drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during the first growing season helps develop a strong root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the plant to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Divide plants every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and prevent crown rot.
Plant Obsidian Coral Bells in spring or fall, spacing plants 16-18 inches apart. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Position the crown at or slightly above soil level to prevent rot. Mix organic matter into the native soil before backfilling. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth appears.
