The detail
Bergenia 'Rotblum' is a robust and reliable evergreen perennial, prized for its striking deep rose-red flower clusters that appear in spring above bold, leathery foliage.

A superb ground cover plant, Bergenia 'Rotblum' forms dense, weed-suppressing clumps that look equally at home in borders, woodland edges, or containers.
This set includes three established plants, each supplied in a 1 litre pot, ready for planting out. Incredibly low-maintenance and tolerant of a wide range of conditions, Bergenia 'Rotblum' thrives in sun or shade and copes well with most soil types, making it an excellent choice for challenging areas of the garden.
