DESCRIPTION
Bergenia ‘Abendglut’ is a robust evergreen perennial known for its bold foliage and vivid seasonal color. Thick, rounded leaves emerge glossy green before developing deep red and burgundy tones in cooler weather. In early to mid spring, upright stems carry clusters of rosy red to crimson flowers that rise cleanly above the foliage. The blossoms open gradually, extending the display while contrasting with the broad leaves below.

Developed in Europe, this cultivar is valued for dependable color and strong structure. It performs well along paths, at border edges, or in mass plantings, where its foliage provides year-round presence and its spring flowers add a concentrated burst of color.
