Bergenia'Faity Tale Romance'  is among the first perennials to bloom in spring. Clusters of apple blossom pink flowers emerge with glossy evergreen foliage for an attractive display. The floral display is exceptionally showy with large 2.5 cms wide flowers  held on similarly large 15 cm 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.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Bergenia likes rich, well drained soil enriched with compost. It is usually grown in part shade but will tolerate full sun if kept moist. Clean up old foliage in the spring just as new growth starts to keep the plant looking neat.
