Bergenia Fairytale Rom #1

Common Name: Heartleaf Bergenia, Pigsqueak

This charmed perennial will be among the first perennials to bloom in spring. Clusters of apple blossom pink flowers emerge with glossy evergreen foliage for a shining display. The floral display is exceptionally showy with large 1″ wide flowers are held on similarly large 6″ panicles.

Bergenia can be used in a variety of ways in the landscape. It is most impressive when used as a durable, evergreen groundcover, but it can also be used in containers and rock gardens. It is quite effective at softening the hard edges of pavement and also works well as an edging or filler plant in flower borders.
