Bressingham White Bergenia

Bergenia 'Bressingham White'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: A low-growing perennial with thick, rounded evergreen leaves. Reddish green stalks emerge in the spring and produce clusters of pure white flowers that are much improved over the species. Even without the flowers, the glossy green leaves are very ornamental. It needs consistent moisture to grow well and does best with some shade. Looks great in mass plantings.

Maintenance:
