Heart Leaf Bergenia
Bergenia cordifolia
 
Bold foliage and early blooms make Heart Leaf Bergenia a standout in any garden. Known for its large, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, this hardy perennial provides year-round interest with its rich green foliage that turns deep burgundy in cooler months. In early spring, sturdy stems rise above the foliage bearing clusters of bright pink to rose-purple flowers—bringing vibrant color to the garden when little else is in bloom.
 
This tough, low-maintenance plant thrives in a range of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and adapts well to various soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Its dense foliage also serves as an excellent groundcover, suppressing weeds and adding bold texture to borders, woodland edges, and shaded areas.
 
Drought-tolerant once established and resistant to deer and rabbits, Heart Leaf Bergenia is a reliable, easy-care addition to the landscape. Its early flowers attract pollinators, while the dramatic foliage adds structure and color across seasons.
