Description

Family Saxifragaceae
Originating from Central Asia.

• Fantastic evergreen carpeting variety with large, lush foliage
• Producing richly coloured deep rose pink flowers in autumn and spring
• Hardy and easy to grow in full sun or part shade, even under trees.

Outstanding in difficult areas of the garden. Spikes of bright pink flowers are produced in autumn as well as spring, and sometimes sporadically throughout the year, borne above slowly spreading clumps of fleshy evergreen leaves. The foliage makes a handsome, compact ground covering carpet and turns shades of red and purple in low temperatures. Easy to grow in any soil type, and in dry shade, under trees. Bergenias are invaluable for woodland, traditional English and jungle style gardens.

Height and spread after 2 – 5 years 30cm x 50cm, (flower spikes add another 20 cm in height).
