Bergenia Miss Piggy

Common Name: Heartleaf Bergenia, Pigsqueak

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. Compared to 'Sakura', 'Miss Piggy' has more consistent pink flower color, a larger canopy of foliage, and broader, more substantial leaves. The perfect choice to jumpstart your garden after the snow melts.

Bergenias are reliable evergreen perennials and are rabbit and deer resistant.
