Bergenia ‘Ballawley’
Synonyms: Bergenia ‘Ballawley Red’, Bergenia ‘Ballawley’ clonal
Description:
A garden-origin cultivar introduced through cultivation rather than occurring naturally in the wild. Selected for its vigour and ornamental value, it forms dense clumps of glossy, rounded evergreen leaves that develop bronze tints in winter. In mid to late spring, bright crimson flowers are carried on sturdy reddish stems up to 60 cm tall, making it a striking choice for borders and woodland-style plantings.
