Bergenia Abendglocken

Abendglocken Bergenia, Bergenia 'Evening Bells'


Bergenia 'Abendglocken' or 'Evening Bells' is a clump-forming evergreen perennial noted for its outstanding large-leaved foliage that turns brilliant burgundy during the winter. Borne on stout stems in early spring, erect clusters of bright rosy-red flowers rise above the attractive foliage of crinkled, leathery, dark green leaves which is often used in floral arrangements. Low maintenance, this Bergenia is primarily grown as a ground cover and looks stunning in mass plantings.

  • Grows up to 12-18 in. tall and wide (30-45 cm).
  • Easily grown in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils in sun or part shade. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, including poor soils, but dislikes hot, dry conditions. Heavy shade tolerant too!
  • Undemanding and virtually disease-free, this Bergenia is a welcomed addition to beds and borders, banks and slopes, cottage gardens, coastal gardens or city gardens. Effective as a groundcover or edging paths and walkways.
  • Deer and rabbit resistant.
  • Remove faded flower spikes
  • Propagate by division or root rhizomes sections in fall or spring
