Bergenia Pink Dragonfly

Bergenia Pink Dragonfly care guide

Bergenia 'Pink Dragonfly' is an attractive, evergreen perennial known for its neat, compact habit, glossy green leaves, and vivid pink flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It's tolerant of poor soils, light frost, and some drought once established, making it easy to grow in many New Zealand garden conditions. During colder months, the foliage may develop appealing reddish-bronze tones, adding year-round interest. To maintain the plant’s appearance, remove faded flower spikes and old or damaged leaves. Bergenia 'Pink Dragonfly' is ideal for borders, containers, mass planting, and ground cover, particularly in shaded or woodland-style gardens. It's also resistant to pests like deer and rabbits, and its early blooms help support pollinators emerging in late winter.
