Buy Bergenia (elephant's ears or pig squeak) Plants or Plug Plants

Bergenia, often called elephant’s ears or pig squeak, is a robust perennial from the Saxifragaceae family, prized for its large, glossy leaves and clusters of colourful flowers. Native to Asia and parts of Europe, Bergenia is a favourite among gardeners seeking low-maintenance plants that deliver year-round interest.

Its thick, leathery foliage forms a striking ground cover, while tall flower stalks rise above in spring, showcasing blooms in shades of pink, purple, or white. Bergenia thrives in well-drained soil and adapts to partial shade or full sun, making it suitable for borders, rock gardens, and woodland settings. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, requiring only occasional watering during dry spells.

Perfect for ground cover and edging, Bergenia offers seasonal colour and evergreen structure. Deadheading spent flowers encourages repeat blooms, and dividing clumps every few years maintains plant vigour. At Dartana Plants, we stock a wide range of stunning varieties, including Bergenia Harzkristall, Diamond Drops, Rotblum, Eroica, Night Crystal, Snow Crystal, Cordifolia, and Autumn Magic—each with unique characteristics to suit your garden design.
