Bergenia cordifolia Winter Glow (Heartleaf Bergenia)

Bergenia cordifolia 'Winter Glow' (Heartleaf Bergenia) is a clump-forming evergreen perennial boasting erect clusters of dark pink flowers atop thick red stems from early to late spring and often later in the fall. The showy blossoms rise above a rosette of leathery, shiny leaves. Deep green in spring and summer, the leaves turn reddish-bronze in the fall and winter, providing year-round interest. The flowers and the leaves are both long-lasting when used in floral arrangements. Low maintenance and easy to grow, this Bergenia selection makes a wonderful ground cover or specimen. Use in mass, in containers, on banks, in front of the border, or in mixed beds.
