Bergenia cordifolia Details

Bergenia cordifolia is an herbaceous perennial grown for its lush foliage and pretty flowers.

It is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, short periods of dry, and a wide range of soil conditions, except extreme wet or dry. In cooler areas the plants may die back during winter to regrow again when conditions warm. Bergenia cordifolia is a very fashionable and hardy plant that is ideal for border planting or mass planting as a groundcover.
