I have to eat my words

I thought most of my coral bells were goners and I swore them off in a couple earlier posts - they were looking pretty scraggly and puny about a month or so ago, and I don't have a great track record with them anyway. Boy am I surprised how much new growth they have put on in the last few weeks! A few of them are still kind of puny, but some of them have really bounced back and turned into lovely mounds of foliage! I did lose a Plum Pudding, but overall I'm relieved I won't have to be buying a lot of replacement plant material . :0)
