Bergenia 'Winter Glow' is a cold-hardy perennial cultivar prized for its striking winter foliage. Also known as Pigsqueak, this variety of Bergenia features large, leathery leaves that emerge in spring with a deep green hue. As temperatures cool in autumn, the robust leaves transform into a remarkable display of burgundy, plum, and crimson tones that persist through the winter months. Clusters of small, bell-shaped pink flowers bloom in early spring, adding a delicate contrast to the plant's bold, structural foliage. Reaching 12-18 inches tall and spreading 18-24 inches wide, Bergenia 'Winter Glow' has a low-growing, mounding habit that makes it well-suited for groundcover, edging, and rock gardens. Exceptionally cold tolerant, this Bergenia cultivar thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 and prefers partial shade to full sun exposure. With its remarkable seasonal color and reliable, evergreen-like foliage, 'Winter Glow' is a standout choice for adding winter interest to the landscape.
