Bergenia Rotblum care guide

Bergenia 'Rotblum', also known as 'Red Flower', is a compact, evergreen perennial valued for its rich, deep red flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it adapts well to a variety of soil types including clay and loam. Once established, it is tolerant of dry conditions and low maintenance. Water regularly during prolonged dry spells, especially in summer. The large, glossy green leaves form a dense clump and often develop attractive red-bronze tones in colder months. To keep the plant looking tidy, remove spent flower stems and any old or damaged foliage. Bergenia 'Rotblum' is ideal for borders, ground cover, or underplanting trees and shrubs. It is hardy, pest- and disease-resistant, and well-suited to New Zealand’s varied climates.

How big do Bergenia Rotblum get?

Bergenia 'Rotblum' typically grows to around 25–30 cm tall (excluding flower spikes) and can reach 40–50 cm wide. When in bloom, the flower stems may extend the height to about 40–45 cm. It forms a low, compact clump of bold evergreen foliage, making it ideal for edging, ground cover, or mass planting in borders.

What conditions does Bergenia Rotblum like?

Bergenia Rotblum prefers a position in full sun to partial shade and thrives in moist, well-drained soil. It is highly adaptable and can tolerate a range of soil types, including clay, loam, or sandy soils, as long as drainage is adequate. While it grows best with regular moisture, it is surprisingly drought-tolerant once established. It also tolerates cold, wind, and coastal conditions, making it a reliable choice for many New Zealand gardens. Bergenia Rotblum benefits from a sheltered spot where its early spring flowers are protected from harsh frosts, though the plant itself is hardy. It also appreciates light shade in hotter areas, where too much direct sun can scorch the foliage. The plant performs well in borders, under trees, or as ground cover and adds year-round interest with its evergreen leaves, which often take on a bronze or reddish hue in winter.
