Bergenia Silberlicht care guide

Bergenia 'Silberlicht' (also known as ‘Silverlight’) is a hardy, evergreen perennial prized for its large, glossy green leaves and elegant white to pale pink flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This variety prefers a position in full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. It is tolerant of poor soils and can cope with dry conditions once established, though it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Bergenia 'Silberlicht' is low maintenance—simply remove spent flower stems and tidy up dead leaves as needed. It’s an excellent choice for borders, ground cover, or woodland gardens, and its foliage often takes on a bronze or reddish tint in colder months, adding year-round interest. This plant is also resistant to deer and rabbits, making it ideal for New Zealand gardens where pest resistance and drought tolerance are valued.
