Bergenia ‘Herbstblute’

Bergenia ‘Herbstblute’ (probably a selection of Bergenia cordifolia) is one of the few bergenias that has taken a likin’ to our hot and humid summers. Bergenia ‘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 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.
