About Bergenia ‘Diamond Drops’
Bergenia ‘Diamond Drops’ is a refined cultivar selected for its neat habit, attractive foliage, and strong seasonal interest. The broad, leathery leaves form low clumps that remain evergreen through winter, often developing richer tones in cooler weather.
In spring, upright flower stems rise above the foliage bearing clusters of pink blooms, making this variety a useful source of early colour.
