Unique even among Bergenia, ‘Ripple Effect’ is set to stand out in the landscape with a robust habit of massive 13″ wide leaves. The glossy green leaves are circular with a serrated, wavy margin. This is an excellent perennial to add architectural effect in the shade. Unlike other Bergenia, this is not evergreen and will go completely dormant after fall frost.
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.
