Early in the season Bergenia ‘Happily Ever After’ produces large clusters of near-white flowers held on tall, sturdy scapes. The stems of the flower scapes are a dark red, providing contrast between the flowers and foliage. Dark green leaves grow to a massive size, with a rippled edge to each leaf. Bergenia can be used in a variety of ways in the landscape. It is impressive when used as a durable, evergreen groundcover, but it can also be used in containers and rock gardens. It softens the edges of hardscaping but also works well as a filler plant in flower borders.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Bergenia will grow in full sun as long as the soil is kept evenly moist, but partial shade is ideal. Plants will always perform best in rich, moisture-retentive soil. It dislikes heavy soils and will rot in soil that does not drain well, especially in the winter months.
