Bergenia Dragonfly Sakura

1 GALLON POT 
(Pig-squeak)

Zone 3

Full Sun/Partial Shade

Bergenia earned the common name Pig Squeak, due to the squeaky sounds the leaves make as they are rubbed together. Incredibly hardy, and reliable evergreen. The winter leaves are a valuable addition to cut flower bouquets. Most effective when mss planted or used as an edging along a walkway.

This selection forms a low clump of green leaves, which develop rich plume red tones in the winter. Taller stems of bright pink, double to semi-double flowers rise above the shiny foliage in mid spring. This Bergenia was introduced to the market by Terra Nova Nurseries of Oregon.The blossoms reminded them of cherry blossoms and since that is ‘Sakura’ in Japanese, that’s what they named it,
