Growing Information
Upon Arrival:
It is very important to plant as soon as possible after you receive them. If it is necessary to store them for a short time before planting them, open the plastic bags. If the roots appear dry, soak them for a few hours in warm water. Store in slightly moist peat moss in a cold, but not freezing location until you can plant. They can also be placed in pots of soil if planting will be delayed for more than 2 weeks. Use any peat-based potting soil and pots with drainage holes.
Soak bare-root perennials in water for a few hours before planting.
Planting:
Bergenia thrives in almost any amount of sunlight, but partial shade is ideal. plants will always perform the best in rich, moisture-retentive soil. However, it dislikes heavy soils and standing water. Place crown just below soil surface, 12” apart.
Growing:
Propagate by division in early spring or by seed. Divisions should be replanted fairly deep into the soil.
