Bergenia x schmidtii
Bergenia schmidti’s large, smooth, glossy leaves provide a backdrop for the pink clusters of bell-shaped flowers, sitting atop their reddish stems.
Cultural
Prefers a full sun to part shade position with moist but well-drained soil, though Bergenia can tolerate poor soils. Often poor soil leads to an increase of winter colour in the leaves. Dead head spent flowers and the clump should be divided if gets too big. Cut back larger or damaged leaves just before flowering.
Landscape Uses
A fantastic ground cover, perfect for cottage, formal, coastal and rock gardens. Works wonderfully as a border plant, on banks or slopes or as an under planting. Looks great planted under Lagertsroemia or amongst Euphorbia and Lavender.
