Bergenia (Pigsqueak)

Description

Bergenia, also known as Elephant Ears or Pigsqueak, is a hardy perennial admired for its large, glossy, evergreen leaves and vibrant bell-shaped flowers. The plant’s thick, leathery foliage offers year-round interest, changing to shades of bronze or deep red during the cooler months, making it a standout in winter gardens. In early to mid-spring, Bergenia produces tall flower spikes adorned with pink, red, or white blooms, providing a bold splash of color to gardens, borders, and shaded areas.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil, and it is highly versatile, tolerating a variety of conditions, including drought once established. Bergenia is also deer-resistant, making it a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife may be a concern. It can be effectively used as ground cover, edging, or as a focal point in the garden, providing a distinctive and colorful touch throughout the year.
