Bergenia Redstart
Tall flower stalks sway above 6-inch foliage.
Vivid red flowers in spring! An easy and appealing plant!
So much beauty for so little effort! Vigorous and low-growing, this Saxifraga forms neat mounds of leathery, dark green foliage that grows just 6 inches high. Evergreen in any exposure from blazing sun to deep shade, this Heart-leaf Bergenia is ideal for ground cover or for the perennial bed. And as if this weren't enough, each spring, tall 18 to 24-inch bloomstalks arise, covered with bright red flowers!
The blooms are sprightly and richly colored, crowding up and down the upper length of the stalk very thickly. Magnificent! Trouble-free and handsome year round, Bergenia Redstart is a "must-have" for most every garden! Hardy zones 3-8 (10 on the west coast). Packet is 30 seeds.
