Description of the plant:
Cherryberry is another coral bells variety from the Indian Summer series holding a berry name. It produces a colourful merge of tasty colour resembling a cherry pie filling. In other words they are dark cerise to almost maroon towards the margins, and rich amber to burnt orange in the centre. On top of that they have purple pink undersides. They are heavily undulated at lobed margins and cope well with sun and frost. In autumn they turn deep cerise red all over. Tiny, creamy flowers appear in erect panicles atop about 30-40 cm high stems from early summer. They can be cut off if only beautiful foliage is what you desire. The plant makes compact, upright tufts. Represented by Gootjes AllPlant BV in Europe. Coral bells can take almost any soil with ample moisture and good drainage. They do best in partial shade or filtered sun, however, if you make sure they will not dry out you can place them in full sun, too. They can also live in dark shade where their colours will not be too rich, such location is usually best for light coloured varieties. Cut off all leaves in early spring to encourage growth of new foliage. Fully hardy to abt. -34°C (USDA zone 4), and suitable for outdoor pots.
