Bergenia 'Herbstblute' (Fall Glow Pig Squeak)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 3-7 6" tall Origin: China

Open House/Web-Only! Bergenia 'Herbstblute' (probably a selection of B. cordifolia) is one of the few bergenias that has taken a likin' to our hot, humid summers. B. 'Herbstblute', which means "fall glow," refers to the re-bloom on this hybrid from Germany's Anne Eskuche. The glossy dark green 6" round leaves, about the size and shape of Barack Obama's ears, form a 2' wide flat basal rosette, topped in mid-March and again sporadically through summer and fall with 8" tall stalks of light pink flowers. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
