(='Wintermärchen') Bergenia are incredibly hardy, and reliably evergreen throughout nearly the entire continent. This selection has loose spikes of bright rosy-red flowers held above shiny sword-shaped green leaves. Excellent red fall and winter colour. 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.
