Bergenia earned the common name Pigsqueak due to the squeaky sounds the leaves make as they are rubbed together. This new genus for the Proven Winners perennial collection is appropriately named ‘Miss Piggy’! In early spring, a stunning display of bright pink flowers top the thick, dark green, glossy leaves.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in part shade to full shade. Tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers moist, humusy ones. Remove all damaged foliage in late winter to early spring. Promptly remove spent flowering stems. Easily grown from seed. Spreads slowly by rhizomes.
