Bergenia ‘Eroica’

Bergenia are incredibly hardy, and reliably evergreen throughout nearly the entire continent. This selection forms a low clump of bold, wavy green leaves, which turn a stunning beet-red shade during winter. Stems of vivid magenta-purple flowers rise above the shiny foliage in mid 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.
