Bergenia, affectionately known as Pigsqueak or Elephant’s Ear, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial that brings year-round interest to any garden. With its large, leathery, lime-green leaves and vibrant pink flowers, it’s one of the first plants to announce the arrival of spring.

Why Grow Bergenia?

  • Early Blooms: One of the earliest perennials to flower, its upright clusters of pink blooms rise like elegant candles above lush foliage, resembling slender hyacinths.
  • Year-Round Interest: The evergreen foliage provides structure throughout the year, with fresh spring growth reviving its bold appearance after winter.
  • Low Maintenance: Thrives in any reasonable soil and position – sun or shade, dry or moist conditions.
  • Perfect for Borders: Growing to around 60cm tall, it’s an ideal front-of-border plant, offering stunning texture and colour.
  • Fun Fact: The name "Pigsqueak" comes from the unique squeaky sound the leaves make when rubbed together, while "Elephant’s Ear" refers to their large, rounded shape.

Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Adaptable to sun, partial shade, or full shade.
  • Soil: Any well-drained, fertile soil. Tolerates dry conditions once established.
  • Watering: Low-maintenance, requiring occasional watering in dry spells.
  • Maintenance:
    • Remove old, tired leaves in early spring to encourage fresh growth.
    • Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming.
    • Divide every 3-4 years to maintain vigour.

A true garden staple, Bergenia cordifolia offers striking foliage, cheerful blooms, and easy care, making it a must-have for borders, ground cover, and wildlife-friendly gardens.
