Bergenia cordifolia 'Herbstblüte' - 2026

Bergenia cordifolia 'Herbstblüte', also known as 'Autumn Glory', is a resilient, evergreen perennial that offers year-round interest in the garden. Its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves emerge dark green and transform to rich shades of red and purple in autumn and winter, providing vibrant ground cover in shaded or semi-shaded areas. In spring, it produces clusters of bell-shaped pink flowers on sturdy stems, adding a delicate touch to the landscape. With its compact, rosette-like habit, it is well-suited for borders, woodland edges, or as an attractive ground cover beneath taller plants.

'Herbstblüte' is particularly valued for its ability to bloom sporadically from spring through autumn, offering extended periods of colour. This cultivar is also noted for its resilience in hot and humid climates, making it a versatile choice for various garden settings. Its low-maintenance nature and tolerance for a range of soil types and pH levels further enhance its appeal. Regular removal of spent flowers and occasional trimming of older leaves can help maintain its tidy appearance.
