Gardener’s Favorite: Bergenia, also known as “Elephant’s Ears,” this hardy perennial is a true gem for any garden.
• Thrives in both sun and shade, prefers dappled light
• Blooms from March to early May with beautiful pink or purple flowers
• Low maintenance and perfect as a ground cover
• Shines in mass plantings and turns a rich burgundy in fall
• Pairs beautifully with Hostas, Hellebores, and Ferns
• A quiet magnet for hummingbirds
But beyond its beauty, Bergenia carries a deeper meaning:
It symbolizes personal growth and resilience—a reminder that even in tough conditions, we can still thrive, bloom, and transform.
