Bergenia
crassifolia * Winter Blooming Bergenia |
| Bergenia crassifolia has big cabbage-like leaves.
The leaves will get a hint of red if they are drought stressed or
cold. Then for a bonus Winter Blooming Bergenia blooms when most everything else is still languishing under the effects of winter.
It grows best in light shade and can tolerate very little water. I have seen
it perform admirably with no additional water in the shade of oak trees. The leaves
grow to 6" and the flowers to 8-10". It slowly spreads by surface runners.
