{"product_id":"ripple-effect-bergenia-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Ripple Effect Bergenia - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eRipple Effect is grown for its massive, glossy green leaves, up to 13 inches wide, with wavy, serrated edges. It adds a bold, architectural look to shady gardens that few other perennials can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most bergenias, it is not evergreen and goes fully dormant after fall frost, returning each spring. It forms a robust clump about two feet tall and three feet wide, useful for softening pavement edges, filling shade borders or anchoring containers. White flowers appear in spring. Deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMassive, nearly circular leaves up to 13 inches across, glossy bright green with wavy, rippled, finely serrated margins, held on thick stems in a bold rosette. In spring, clusters of white bell-shaped flowers rise on stout stems. The plant is a robust clump 26 to 28 inches tall and about 36 inches wide. At its best it is a dramatic mound of huge, rippled, shiny leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRipple Effect needs shade and steady moisture, so place it in a shade garden or along a shaded walkway rather than in a sunny lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part to full shade in average to fertile soil with regular moisture. Hardy in USDA zones 5-8. It dies back completely after frost, so mark its spot; clean up old leaves in late fall or early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bergenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy bright green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robust, bold rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–28 in tall × 36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
