I so enjoy the various varieties of Coral Bells that keep hitting the market every year! Most of them do the best for me in a part shade environment. Some are mostly beautiful foliage but some are prolific bloomers also! Great companions for hostas! 'Mars' is one that seems to be a happy camper for me providing a bounty of lovely blooms that are primarily a light cream color with edges of a darker color that seems to escape from the foliage! The more I deadhead and harvest it for floral arrangements, the more it seems to bloom! It is definitely so happy in its home, it far exceeds the width in its description. After 8 years I think it is time I split it a bit and spread its happiness around! I recall planting it 8 years ago and it was a wee baby in a 4" square pot! I will do that in the spring so it gets well established next year.

This picture was taken in June and right now it is full of blossoms yet!
