DESCRIPTION
Bergenia cordifolia ‘Winter Glow’ forms thick, rounded leaves that emerge deep green before developing rich red and bronze tones during colder months. The leathery foliage creates a bold evergreen presence through winter. In early spring, upright stems carry clusters of clear rose-pink flowers that open above the foliage, providing early-season color when few perennials are in bloom.

Introduced as a selected form of Bergenia cordifolia, this cultivar is valued for consistent winter coloration. It works well along paths, at the front of borders, and in woodland-style plantings, offering year-round structure and dependable spring flowering.
