Bergenia
‘Bressingham White’
at Digging Dog
Pigsqueak
You can experience how this no-trouble rhizomatous ground cover earned its common name if, following a rain, you rub a leaf between your fingers—but it is Bergenia’s fine firm foliage mass and
Saxifrage-like, waxy flowers that justifies its presence
in the garden. With bold, rounded outlines, the
great, glossy, and nearly evergreen, rich green leaves are
a handsome backdrop for dense heads of lovely
spring blooms that rise above the cabbagelike rosette
on stalwart, red-tinted stems.
In winter, leaves become tinged with burgundy and are most welcome in holiday arrangements. Bergenia endures neglect, poor soil and some drought, but performs best in
part shade. Bergenia ‘Bressingham White’ 
Distinguished for the pure white color of its
mature blossoms, its amazing floriferous nature, and for
its leafy robustness, ‘Bressingham
White’ was bred by British horticulturist Alan Bloom.
To create an eye-catching contrast of color and
texture, combine this Bergenia’s broad leaves with
the ferny foliage of Corydalis
‘Blue Panda’.
Blooms April–May. Size: 12"–15" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Bergenia Bressingham White (P-1170)
