USDA Zone: 3-9
Bergenia are incredibly hardy, and reliably evergreen throughout nearly the entire continent. This selection forms a low clump of long and narrow green leaves, which develop rich plum-red tones in the winter. Taller stems of bell-shaped coral-pink flowers rise above the shiny foliage in mid spring. Most effective when mass planted 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.
