Proven Winners Primo Coral Bells

Yes, this variety is exceptionally adaptable. While it thrives in full shade, it can handle full sun exposure as long as it receives adequate moisture, especially in hotter climates.

It is considered an evergreen perennial in most zones. You can expect to keep its mahogany-red foliage throughout the winter, though the leaves may look a bit tired by early spring and can be trimmed back to encourage fresh new growth.

Because this variety reaches a mature spread of 22 to 28 inches, you should space them about 24 to 30 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and to ensure they have enough room to reach their full, lush size.

Yes, Coral Bells are generally unpalatable to deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof if the animals are desperate enough, this variety is a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a concern.

It is an excellent choice for containers. Its mounding habit and year-round color make it a perfect 'filler' or 'thriller' plant for mixed pots, provided the container has good drainage.

It is very low-maintenance. Simply trim away any dead or damaged foliage in early spring to tidy up the plant, and keep it watered during extended dry spells to maintain its vibrant color.
