Distinctive glossy, heart-shaped leathery leaves are evergreen, turning warm, ruddy shades in the fall. Bright pink flower clusters bloom in April and May about 12" from the base and flower for weeks. Bergenia has the virtue of great durability without invasiveness, and a large clump is an attractive accent throughout the season. They prefer rich, humusy soil that retains moisture and would rather be spared the midday sun. Our humid Maryland summer sometimes makes Bergenia appealing to slugs, so some control may be warranted. Try it with Dicentra or white daffodils or tulips for a gorgeous look
