Bergenia’s are incredibly hardy and reliable throughout nearly the entire continent. Plants form a low clump of bold, leathery green leaves, which often turn bronze during winter. Short stems of pink flowers rise above the shiny foliage in mid spring.
Most effective when planted in groups or used as an edging along a walkway.
Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, in both sun or part shade. Easily divided in spring or early fall.
