Pig-Squeak – 1Gallon

Plant Overview

Pig-Squeak, also known as Bergenia, is a stunning evergreen perennial that adds year-round interest to any garden. Its large, glossy, leathery leaves form dense clumps of foliage that turn beautiful shades of burgundy in winter. In spring, clusters of pink to purple flowers bloom on thick stems above the foliage, creating a spectacular display.

Plant Information

Plant Care

Pig-Squeak is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care once established. Remove spent flower stalks and damaged leaves to maintain appearance. In late winter, clean up old foliage before new growth emerges. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. Apply a layer of mulch in spring to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Planting Instructions

Plant Pig-Squeak in spring or fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is at soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
