DESCRIPTION
Bergenia ‘Flirt’ is a compact perennial valued for its glossy, rounded foliage and tidy habit. The thick green leaves form a dense mound and often deepen to burgundy or bronze tones during cooler months. In early to mid spring, short stems rise above the foliage bearing clusters of soft pink flowers, with deeper rose buds adding layered color as the blooms open.

Introduced through European breeding programs, this cultivar fits neatly along pathways, in small borders, and at the front of mixed plantings. Its evergreen foliage provides dependable structure, while the spring blossoms pair easily with bulbs and early-flowering companions.
