Bergenia (Pigsqueak)

Plant in well-drained, humus-rich soil in partial shade to full shade; the large, leathery, glossy leaves — which turn attractive shades of red and bronze in winter where temperatures drop below freezing — earn this plant a spot as one of the best evergreen shade groundcovers. The clusters of pink or magenta flowers appear in early spring on stout red stems, often before the last frost. Remove tattered older leaves by pulling them sharply downward to snap them free from the rhizome. Divide crowded plants every 4–5 years in spring by cutting through the woody, surface-creeping rhizomes. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 12–18 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–28 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–24°C
