Bergenia Wanaka Snow is a robust, evergreen perennial featuring bold, leathery green leaves that develop deep red tones in cooler months. From late winter through early spring, it produces upright stems topped with clusters of pure white flowers, offering a clean, striking contrast against its dark foliage. This New Zealand selection is valued for its neat form and seasonal brightness in shaded areas.

Ideal for woodland, cottage, and shaded courtyard gardens, it is perfect for edging, mass planting, or as groundcover beneath trees and shrubs.

Performs best in part shade to full shade with moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates dry conditions once established. Space plants 30–40 cm apart for a full, clumping display.

Mature size: Grows 30–40 cm high and spreads 40–50 cm wide in a dense, tidy 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.
