Bergenia cordifolia - 2026

Bergenia cordifolia is a hardy, evergreen perennial prized for its large, rounded, glossy green leaves that form dense clumps and provide year-round structure in garden borders, rockeries, and woodland areas. In spring, it produces clusters of bell-shaped pink flowers that attract bees and other pollinators, adding early-season colour and supporting garden biodiversity. Its resilient foliage offers architectural interest, while the plant’s compact growth habit makes it suitable for smaller spaces or naturalistic plantings. Bergenia cordifolia is low-maintenance, hardy, and reliable, delivering consistent ornamental appeal through both foliage and blooms.

Thriving in partial shade to full sun with moist, well-drained soil, Bergenia cordifolia benefits from occasional removal of spent flowers and older leaves to maintain a neat appearance. It is robust across a range of garden conditions, making it ideal for perennial borders, woodland gardens, or as groundcover. Its combination of decorative foliage, attractive blooms, and pollinator-friendly flowers ensures it is a charming and enduring addition to any garden.
