Bergenia Snowtime - Box Lot (9x plants)
Notify MeSave on plants with this Box Lot - 9 x plants with free shipping!
Bergenia Snowtime is a compact, evergreen perennial known for its crisp white flowers that appear in late winter to early spring, brightening shaded garden spaces when little else is in flower. The rounded, glossy green foliage forms a tidy clump and develops attractive reddish-bronze tones in cooler weather, adding multi-seasonal interest.
Ideal for cottage, woodland, and shaded urban gardens, it performs well as groundcover, edging, or mass planted beneath trees and larger shrubs.
Thrives in part shade to full shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, though it will tolerate drier conditions once established. Space plants 30–40 cm apart to achieve a dense, unified planting.
Mature size: Grows 25–35 cm high and spreads 35–45 cm wide in a compact, clump-forming habit.

Trimming: Remove spent flower stems after flowering in spring to tidy the plant. In late winter or early spring, trim away any dead, damaged, or tatty leaves to refresh the foliage and encourage new growth.
Deadheading: Remove faded flowers promptly to enhance appearance and prevent self-seeding. This also redirects energy into foliage and root development.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. In poor soils, a light mid-season feed can be beneficial.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment and during extended dry spells. Once established, Bergenia is moderately drought-tolerant but performs best with occasional deep watering in dry conditions.
Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant. Slugs and snails may feed on young or damaged leaves—use traps or barriers if needed.
Disease Management: Low susceptibility to disease, but overly damp or crowded conditions can lead to fungal leaf spots. Ensure good air circulation and remove any discoloured or spotted foliage. Dispose of infected material and apply a fungicide if necessary.
