. . . are good things!
It's hard to remember every plant we have or would
like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

There are
over 200
species of plants cultivated in our gardens. To learn more
about any of these either find the plant in the list above,
search for a plant in the box to the left or clock on one of the
categories or locations in the left column.
Each plant
listed will show a picture, and our notes about that plant. When possible, we include the Latin
botanical name, a short descriptions, and planting
notes. |

Bergenia
Bergenia is a small group of hardy perennials growing wild from Afghanistan to southeast Tibet and the Himalayas. These plants form clumps of large, evergreen leaves, which have a leathery texture, and clusters of small flowers. They grow from 1 to 2 feet high and spread 20 to 24 inches. B. cordifolia 'Purpurea' forms clumps of rounded leaves with wavy edges. They are dark green tinged with purple, especially in the winter. The small, bell-shaped, rose-pink flowers are produced in compact clusters on strong red stems from late winter to early spring.

The leaves are up to 6" long and 2½" across. They are double pinnatifid; there are 2-3 pairs of primary lobes along the length of each leaf, while shallow secondary lobes occur along the length of each primary lobe. There are scattered short hairs across the upper surface of each leaf, although they are hard to see.
