Bergenia 'Ice Queen'

Best grown in moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil in sun or partial shade. Dislikes hot, dry conditions but tolerates poor soil, exposed sites and shade. Mulch in autumn

Remove faded flower spikes

Divide deteriorating clumps or root rhizome sections from them in early spring. After flowering or in autumn, lift and sever new plantlets from the ends of the long rhizomes and replant, leaving the parent to flower. Plantlets should flower the next year

Susceptible to vine weevil, leaf and bud eelworm, slugs and snails and some caterpillars

Leaf spot may be a problem and dry brown rot may affect the rhizomes
