Terra Nova Nurseries Rolls Out New Bergenia

Plant breeder Terra Nova Nurseries on June 1 announced a new bergenia, ‘Vintage Rose’.

The latest addition to Terra Nova’s Vintage Collection has large clusters of bright rose flowers, gracefully held above lovely small, green foliage. Moss-green leaves deepen in the winter and develop a burgundy halo around the edges of the foliage.

Bergenia ‘Vintage Rose’ grows with a clumping habit, making it a fantastic evergreen for mass plantings, containers, banks, mixed beds and the fronts of borders.

The new elephant’s ear features a wide range of special uses, such as being deer-resistant and well-suited for the American deep South. It also requires little water and offers a beautiful winter color.

Bergenia ‘Vintage Rose’ is hardy to zones 4-9, and its exposure favors full sun or partial shade. This perennial blooms February to April with a moderate growth rate most active during the spring. It also desires well-drained soil when planted in gardens and likes to be moderately dry between waterings during finishing time in greenhouses.

The plant grows to a height of 7” width of 14” and flower height of 12”.

Terra Nova Nurseries has created webpage and documents specific to this new variety, so growers interested in orders can learn about growing habits, plant characteristics, fertilization recommendations, water requirements, and other insights provided by the breeding team.
