Initially small, these plants grew significantly by spring 2021. Coral bells are native to North America and have adapted well to the local climate, benefiting from their low-maintenance and adaptability, especially in shady conditions. Expert Ryan McEnaney highlights the importance of native species in gardening, emphasizing their survival and thriving nature in gardens. The author has expanded their collection with different coral bell varieties.
