Bergenia Dragonfly Sakura

A compact form of bergenia or elephant’s ears with beautiful winter and spring colour, Bergenia Sakura Dragonfly Series is a clump-forming, evergreen, rhizomatous perennial, good for the smaller garden. The rounded, glossy, green leaves form a low, ground-covering mound, and develop lovely tones of wine-red in winter. In March and April, racemes of rich rose-pink, double to semi-double flowers open on stout, upright stems rising above the clump of leaves. Bergenia Dragonfly Sakura is a good choice for spring containers.
