Bergenia 'Winter Glow' is a cold-hardy perennial cultivar prized for its striking winter foliage. Also known as Pigsqueak, this variety of Bergenia features large, leathery leaves that emerge in spring with a deep green hue. As temperatures cool in autumn, the robust leaves transform into a remarkable display of burgundy, plum, and crimson tones that persist through the winter months. Clusters of small, bell-shaped pink flowers bloom in early spring, adding a delicate contrast to the plant's bold, structural foliage. Reaching 12-18 inches tall and spreading 18-24 inches wide, Bergenia 'Winter Glow' has a low-growing, mounding habit that makes it well-suited for groundcover, edging, and rock gardens. Exceptionally cold tolerant, this Bergenia cultivar thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 and prefers partial shade to full sun exposure. With its remarkable seasonal color and reliable, evergreen-like foliage, 'Winter Glow' is a standout choice for adding winter interest to the landscape.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
