Bergenia Snowtime

Bergenia Snowtime care guide

Bergenia 'Snowtime' is a compact, evergreen perennial valued for its crisp white flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring and its bold, glossy green foliage. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it is tolerant of a range of soil types including clay and dry conditions once established. This variety is low maintenance—simply remove spent flower stalks and any damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. Bergenia 'Snowtime' is hardy and can withstand cold weather, with its foliage often taking on a reddish-bronze tint in winter, adding seasonal interest. It is well-suited for use in borders, mass plantings, under trees, or as ground cover. It also attracts pollinators and resists browsing by deer and rabbits, making it a practical and attractive choice for New Zealand gardens.
