Fire and Ice is a compact evergreen perennial boasting leathery oval leaves with a maroon flush and dark green hue that transforms to a striking bronze in autumn and winter. From mid spring to early summer, upright, shiny red stems emerge, bearing dense clusters of open bell-shaped white flowers tinged with pink and accented by reddish sepals. This hardy, drought-tolerant bergenia is a charming woodland plant, perfect for mass planting, edging along a walkway or adding a pop of color to cut-flower bouquets.
