Discover the allure of Bergenia crassifolia var. pacifica, commonly known as Russian Bergenia and Pacific Korean Elephant's Ears, a resilient evergreen perennial from the Russian Far East. Perfect for adding vibrant life to your garden year-round, this clump-forming plant dazzles with its rounded, leathery leaves that take on a beautiful reddish hue in winter. As winter fades, anticipate breathtaking clusters of purple-pink flowers, gracing your outdoor space with a splash of color in late winter and early spring.

Standing 12-18 inches tall with a similar spread, Russian Bergenia thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3-9, making it a versatile choice across diverse climates. Adaptable to full sun or partial shade, it flourishes in moist yet well-drained soil. Its natural resistance to deer and rabbits ensures lasting beauty without constant upkeep. For optimal growth, water when the soil dries, mulch to retain moisture, and divide clumps every few years.

Whether enhancing borders, creating lush ground cover, or adding interest to containers, Russian Bergenia offers timeless elegance with minimal maintenance, ensuring your garden remains a vibrant oasis throughout the seasons.
