Bergenia Bressingham Ruby care guide

Bergenia 'Bressingham Ruby' is a hardy evergreen perennial prized for its bold foliage and ruby-red flowers that appear in late winter to early spring. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it tolerates a range of soil types including clay. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in summer, but avoid waterlogging. The large, leathery leaves form attractive clumps and often develop reddish-bronze tones in colder months. Remove faded flower stalks and old or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. Bergenia is generally low-maintenance, pest-resistant, and well-suited for borders, underplanting trees, or mass planting as ground cover. This variety is especially valuable for adding winter colour and structure to the garden, making it a reliable and eye-catching plant year-round.
