Flora Friday: Bergenia
I think Bergenia is a great border or edging plant on the West Coast because this fast growing perennial’s elephant ear-shaped leaves often turn a dark burgundy colour over winter and send out these lovely pink blooms in the late winter / early spring. Bergenia is quick to fill in a forgotten corner of the garden or adds low maintenance beauty under trees. I use it as edging for my flower beds, under my dogwood, and to reduce soil erosion on a stepped bank near the neighbours.
