		DESCRIPTION: Bergenia is a small group of hardy perennials growing wild from Afghanistan to southeast Tibet and the Himalayas.
		Bergenia should be placed in a sheltered position to protect from cold, dry winds that may scorch the foliage.
		PROPAGATION: Bergenia may be divided in the spring after they've bloomed, or seeds may be sown in sandy soil.

	Bergenia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bergenia lives up to its most appropriate common name, having large, tough, leathery or glossy leaves.
		Bergenias are evergreen perennials, which produce clusters of creamy-pink to purple-pink flowers held erect on sturdy stems during Spring or early-Summer, some even produce a second flush of blooms later in the season.
		Bergenias are ideally suited to growing in dry shaded places in the shadow of walls, trees or shrubs.

		While bergenias are quite common in the cooler climates, where they are renown for their tropical appearance in the woodland garden, their intolerance for heat has left a void in warmer climates.
		I've killed more bergenias than Firestone has recalled tires, so we were really excited when we heard that plant breeder Robin White of the UK was now using the heat-loving Chinese Bergenia emeiensis in his breeding program.

		They were evident all winter, as the plant is evergreen; bergenias lend shape and substance to the border throughout the year.
		Bergenias will also do well in moist but not soggy soil, and they make fine aesthetic companions to hostas, astilbes, and ferns.
		So, check the labels and you’ll find shorter bergenias or taller ones; purple, red, or lilac flowers—even white ones, in the case of Bergenia ‘Silver Light’ (a synomyn is B. x ‘Silberlicht’), which offers smaller leaves of a deeper green.

	Bergenia doesn't deserve its bad name
		Bergenia cordifolia and Bergenia crassifolia are the original varieties brought from Siberia in 1779.
		Bergenias are a beautiful addition to a rock garden - especially one that relies on color in the winter and texture in the summer.
		The bergenia's loss of popularity over the years was the result of the gardener, not the plant.

		Bergenia is a plant that does require a bit of attention, more like a gardeners task than just a plant that you would watch grow in your gardens.
		The Heart Leaved Bergenia is a wonderful lovely plant that will brighten areas of your landscape but it is a tender plant, a perennial plant, that will require attention if you really want to see it thrive in your gardens.
		The Heart Leaved Bergenia has a thick waxy like substance all around the leaves and the waves in the leaves offer you a real treat with a texture that is very different than many other plants that are in your gardens.

	Sunset: Why bergenia? Big leaves, pink flowers, and you can't kill it (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Aside from their sturdy nature, bergenias appeal to gardeners because of their large leathery leaves and low, ground-covering habit.
		Bergenias give a crisp edge to a garden path or the front of border, but they are equally handsome on their own--massed in beds or small areas of ground cover.
		Their chief differences are these: leaves of spring-blooming Bergenia cordifolia are lobed at the base, while winter-blooming.

		You can experience how this no-trouble rhizomatous ground cover earned its common name if, following a rain, you rub a leaf between your fingers—but it is Bergenia’s fine firm foliage mass and Saxifrage-like, waxy flowers that justifies its presence in the garden.
		With bold, rounded outlines, the great, glossy, and nearly evergreen, rich green leaves are a handsome backdrop for dense heads of lovely spring blooms that rise above the cabbagelike rosette on stalwart, red-tinted stems.
		Bergenia endures neglect, poor soil and some drought, but performs best in part shade.

		I grew Bergenia from seed two years ago (my brain just wouldn't let my heart buy the gallon-sized pots for $8 each.) It was tiny the first year, a little bigger the next, and is finally coming into its own in its third season (as is the case with most perennials.)
		Bergenia has a lot going for it - thick glossy evergreen foliage that sometimes has a bronzed or purple hue.
		Thick flower stems emerge from the crown of the plant bearing clusters of single pink blooms in late spring and summer.

	Bergenia Blether
		His aim was invariably inaccurate, I recall, complimented no doubt by numerous gin and tonics, and as a consequence many pellets passed straight through the hedge and into our greenhouse.
		Some of these rogue pellets even had the audacity to pass through both walls of the greenhouse and mutilate a giant Bergenia Cordifolia ('Elephant's Ears') on the other side.
		As you might imagine my father was not amused by this situation, no, in fact he was furious.
