MELTING FIRE is a Kieft Seeds coral bells variety bred in their Dutch branch and protected by European Patent No. 20557 from 2007. It makes undulated, shallowly lobed, palmate, glossy leaves which emerge crimson in spring and mature to maroon in summer. Undersides are magenta. They are reliably evergreen in mild winters. It grows fast into a dense and mounding habit some 30 cm tall and 40 cm wide. From late spring rise 40-45 cm tall, slender stems with profuse upright panicles composed of tiny, creamy to pale beige flowers.
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.
