Grape Expectations Coral Bells show off vibrant, grape-purple colors with deeply lobed foliage of varying sizes. You’ll notice smaller leaves appearing at the top and larger ones toward the bottom of the plant. Its foliage will emerge during early springtime. Additionally, during June, your perennial will grow lovely white flowers, and once fully grown, the plant may reach a total height of about 34 inches and a total spread of approximately 24 inches. This striking perennial will attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Native to the Southeastern United States, this tough perennial is drought, deer, and disease resistant. It is also evergreen when in warmer growing conditions. Your Grape Expectations Coral Bells will grow at a medium rate unless you plant them in an area without direct sunlight. A shaded area will slow down the perennial’s overall growth rate. You can plant these low-maintenance perennials in the front of a border, rock garden, or in a container.
Grape Expectations Coral Bells Plant Care
You can grow your Grape Expectations Coral Bells perennial in full shade if you don’t mind a slow growth rate. Alternatively, you can plant it in an area where it can get full sun and some partial afternoon shade. You can choose between well-drained soil that is either neutral or acidic. When watering, water your perennial thoroughly and allow the soil time to dry a bit before watering it again. However, be sure not to let the soil dry out completely. You may also use a slow-release fertilizer once a year.
To keep your perennial in good shape, you can prune lifeless or old leaves during the wintertime before new leaves begin growing. You can also get rid of spent stems during the season as this will aid with reblooming. Avoid pruning near the small leaves emerging from the center as they can become easily damaged.
Grape Expectations Coral Bells Plant Spacing
Leave at least 18 inches of space for mass plantings. If you are planting your perennials between other plants, leave a minimum of 36 inches of space in between them.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
