Bergenia ‘Magic Giant’


Bergenia

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.105.180


Bergenia are incredibly hardy, and reliably evergreen throughout nearly the entire continent. This selection forms a low clump of large, leathery bronzy-green leaves which turn deep bronze-purple during winter. Short stems of magenta-pink flowers rise above the foliage in mid spring. The winter leaves are a valuable addition to cut flower bouquets. 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.
