The individual flowers are about an inch wide on six-inch clusters, making for an especially showy display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bold, leathery leaves form a clump 18 to 20 inches tall that stays attractive through the year. Use it as edging, a groundcover in partly shaded beds or in containers. Deer and rabbits tend to leave bergenia alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense clusters about 6 inches long of bell-shaped flowers about 1 inch wide in soft apple blossom pink, held on thick, reddish stems above the leaves. Leaves are large, rounded to paddle-shaped, thick, leathery and glossy green, forming a low rosette. The plant is 18 to 20 inches tall in bloom and 18 to 22 inches wide. At peak bloom pink flower clusters rise from the shiny green rosettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergenia prefers a bit more moisture and some shade compared with lavender, so use it as a bold edging in a partly shaded border or along a path rather than in the dry lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part shade to full sun in average, well-drained soil with regular moisture; leaf color is richest with some shade in summer.
