Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

The perfect perennial for those difficult spots in dry shade, Bergenia provides useful evergreen ground cover, spring flowers and a feast of nectar for early pollinators. This low maintenance and adaptable plant spreads by rhizomes, colonising areas in sun or shade on any soil type. Large rounded, leathery leaves form good weed-supressing cover and in spring sturdy stems bear clusters of white, bell-shaped flowers, slightly flushed with pink. The rounded foliage makes a good contrast with more finely textured shade-loving perennials such as ferns. RHS Award of Garden Merit. Height: 45cm (18in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

After flowering, remove the faded flowerheads of Bergenia. Cut off any damaged foliage as it occurs too, to keep plants tidy. Lift and divide clumps in spring.
