Dolce® Apple Twist Coral Bells

Dolce® ‘Apple Twist’ is grown for leaves that shift from red-veined new growth to chartreuse and then apple green, with rippled edges. Cream flowers rise above the compact mound in midsummer. [Proven Winners’ cultivar page](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/10982) lists it at 10–12 inches tall and 20–24 inches wide, hardy in zones 4–9, with average water needs. ## Garden Use Use the bright foliage along a shaded border, in a container, or in a repeated planting near paths. The airy flower stems add seasonal interest while the leaves continue to carry color after flowering. ## Growing Conditions Plant in part shade to shade in humus-rich, well-drained soil. Keep moisture even during establishment and water in extended dry periods. Protect the foliage from scorching light. ## Maintenance In early spring, trim away worn leaves to clear space for new growth. Remove faded flower stems if a tidier appearance is wanted, and keep the crown above wet, compacted soil.
