Abundant Spring Blooms
Lush clusters of lightly fragrant rose-pink flowers are held like charming bouquets just above its glossy, cabbage-like foliage. In milder winter climates, foliage tends to be evergreen and will exhibit deeper burgundy tones with cooler temps. The sturdy foliage is a nice filler in cut flower bouquets. Performs like a champion in a wide range of soil conditions and thrives in dappled sun or shade. Rub the leathery leaves of Bergenia Vintage Pink between two fingers after a summer rain to discover why this lovely perennial would have such an unusual common name, Pig Squeak. Kids of all ages love trying this.

Bergenia General Information

Bergenia are valued for attractive foliage and flowers. Leathery, waxed leaves add structure, texture and changing color. A good performer even in difficult sites. Slowly and reliably fills in. Clusters of blooms are framed by foliage nicely. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Bergenia Plant Care

No special care needed. Clean up in spring. Snip off any winter-damaged foliage and the occasional brown leaves in summer. Do not cut back plant in fall as Bergenia needs the leaves for food to survive the winter. If needed, divide in spring every 3-4 years. Does not like wet feet.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
