Bergenia cordifolia Winter Glow


Bergenia

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.105.410


(=‘Winterglut’) Bergenia are incredibly hardy, and reliably evergreen throughout nearly the entire continent. Plants form a low clump of bold, leathery green leaves, which often turn reddish-bronze during winter. Short stems of bright pinkish-red flower clusters rise just above the shiny foliage in early to late 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.
