Product Description
Bergenia 'Happily Ever After' PPAF (20)ct Flat
Common Name: Heartleaf Bergenia, Pigsqueak
Find your garden's fairytale ending with 'Happily Ever After' Bergenia. This perennial Pigsqueak will impress early in the season with large clusters of near-white flowers on tall, sturdy scapes. The stems of the flower scapes are a dark red, providing contrast between the flowers and foliage. Dark green leaves grow to a massive size, with a rippled edge to each leaf. While this plant is capable of growing from full sun to shade, it will thrive when given additional moisture in full sun and afternoon shade in the south.
Bergenia can be used in a variety of ways in the landscape. It is most impressive when used as a durable, evergreen groundcover, but it can also be used in containers and rock gardens. It is quite effective at softening the hard edges of pavement and also works well as an edging or filler plant in flower borders.

Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.

Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
