Perennial of the Year – Jen’s Pick

 

Coral Bells – Pinot Gris

This first picture is taken today, March 8, 2012.  The second is taken in the middle of the summer when they are in full bloom.   The blooms are really not that spectacular, but sweet and subtile.  The foliage is the true winner for Jen.  Even though the leaves look a little tattered, after a long winter, it still provides color and interest, in an otherwise sleeping garden.  Then of course throughout the rest of the growing season, they provide a great base for almost any garden bed.  A great staple!
