The Tale
What is curious about this genus is that it is native to the Russian Far East, parts of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, and is native to the State of North Carolina – quite the spread!
The common name, Coral Bells, references the plant’s bell-shaped flowers. They are so delicate and beautiful, you sort of hold your breath when you walk by them.
The other common name, Alumroot, references the medicinal use of some of the species as an astringent to stop bleeding.
