Notes
'Bressingham Ruby' bergenia (Bergenia 'Bressingham Ruby') is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is evergreen and tolerates salt, so it works in low maintenance beds. Butterflies visit the spring blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Nigrescens mondo grass, Black hellebore, and Silver feather grass.
