Reliable. Durable. Hardy. Bergenia have been grown in gardens for centuries. Eden's Dark Margin is a newer variety that forms a mound of large, leathery, green leaves with pencil-like edges. The winter colour of the foliage is a deep burgundy red. The colder the winter, the deeper the colour. In mid-spring the magenta pink flowers rise above the foliage on short stems. Tolerates poor soil and exposed sites, but doesn't do well in hot, dry conditions. Prefers semi-shade with compost rich soils and adequate moisture. 40cm high x 60cm wide.

The early days of discovering Bergenias were confined to gardens where Bergenias were often sprawling mats of creeping rhizomes often in a neglected shady corner. After visiting Beth Chatto's 'Gravel Garden' our mind has been positively affected. They were used as garden highlights not plants to be tucked away. Some varieties have remarkable Winter hues and brilliant Spring flowers. 'Bressingham White' is one of the best free flowering forms with pure white inflorescence. Suits shade or semi shade on NSW mid coast, but can handle more sun in climates south of Sydney. 'Bressingham White' has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. 40cm high x 60cm wide. Tolerates poor soils, frost, shade and drought. The large rounded leaves make Bergenias a very useful plant for contrast in any garden.

Mexican Lily or Amole. Genus named in honour of Friedrich Beschorner, a german amateur botanist. This species has tough, liable grey-green leaves that grow to 60cm long. Although it is related to Yucca and Agave, Beschorneria yuccoides' soft leaves contain no spikes and therefore make it a very useable architectural style handsome plant. A very hardy plant that handles drought, heat and as low as -10 °C. Typically 1m x 1m. Once plants have been established for a few years, red flower stalks may rise up to 1.5m above the foliage. These flowers are a wonder of the plant world, appearing almost triffid like, with bright green flowers and red bracts.

Intriguing name for a plant. The name 'Bad River' to us was always the reason to grow this variety. It is slightly shorter with darker flower spikes than the original form. Flower panicles are held horizontally to the flower stem and appear like mini dragon flies above the foliage. It is a wonderful addition to our gravel garden, where it is combined with Ratibida 'Red Midget' and Agapanthus 'Poppin Purple'.
