Just curious, what plants do you guys grow just for the colors of the leaves?

This is a picture I took of the selection of coral bells at a local big box store.

Very cold hardy, waiting for them to go on sale.

In the meantime I bought this plant on clearance, it was only $3.
Anyone grow this plant?
