BERGENIA cordifolia Shoeshine Rose Perennial Plant

Often called 'elephant's ears' after their broad leathery foliage, this plant is an excellent addition to the garden. The leaves form a rosette of leathery leaves that begin dark green in the spring and summer and gradually turn wine red in the autumn and winter. This evergreen perennial looks great in a garden border or as underplanting for roses. Their delicate purple flowers bring a traditional look to the garden

How to grow Bergenia
Bergenia are hardy, evergreen perennial species that thrive in sunny or partially shaded spaces with well-draining Clay, Sand, Chalk or Loam soil. The soil should be kept moist but not wet. You should give them shelter and remove faded flower spikes early to ensure new blooms throughout the growing season.

Can you grow Bergenia in pots?
Yes, they can be grown in pots, but you may not get the same growth or colour as you would if grown in a border or bed.

Do Bergenia get many pests?
Bergenia are robust plants and generally free of pests, but vine-weevil adults like to eat the edges of the leaves, which can detract from the appearance of the plant.
