Coralbells

/ˈkɔrəl bɛlz/ noun

Definition

A perennial garden plant with colorful foliage and delicate bell-shaped flowers, often used in landscaping.

Etymology

Compound word from 'coral' (reddish-orange color) + 'bells' (the shape of the flowers). The name combines visual description of the plant's appearance and bloom shape.

Kelly Says

Coral bells actually do look like tiny bells in coral-red colors—but here's the cool part: the foliage comes in wild colors like purple and chartreuse that go way beyond the actual flowers!
