Features of Heartleaf Bergenia

Body

Features large, glossy green leaves on a low growing plant. Clusters of attractive flowers appear early in the spring. Provides interesting texture for the garden. Plants remain semi-evergreen over the winter and may also turn a bronze color.

Care

  • Prefers moist, well-drained organic soils in a semi-shaded location.
  • If rhizomes start to push up and out of the soil top dress lightly with compost to cover.
