Plant of the Day
Wednesday 31 December 2014
The leaves of Bergenia ‘Eroica’ (elephant ears) catching the winter sunshine having taken on their stunning red shade with the colder temperatures. Bergenia are hardy, and reliably evergreen perennials. They form a low clump of bold, waxy rounded leaves, which have vivid dark pink flower flowers in the spring. They are particularly useful at the edge of a path and contrasting with taller vertical growth such as grasses. They tolerate a range of growing conditions in sun and shade, withstand drought and I have read that they are deer and rabbit resistant!
