The Bergenia 'Pig Squeak', Bergenia cordifolia, also known as Bay Doll, is a must to any garden. With its outstanding burgundy cabbage-like foliage in the fall and green foliage in the spring, it adds color and means to any garden. Bright pink flowers develop in April being 15” in height and a plant spread of 18-24”. ‘Bergenia’ Cordifolia will do well in part shade with some morning sun in average moist to well-drained areas, although they prefer light shade in hot areas.
‘Bergenia’ works great in rock gardens, as a border, and provides strong contrast for most any other plant, especially Ferns and Dicentra. The plant is useful as a ground cover, growing slowly in dry areas and rapidly in constantly wet spots.
