Clusters of whimsical, dainty blooms in pink and plum.

Bergenia Dragonfly ‘Sakura’ blooms during the spring and has beautiful bell-shaped blossoms with semi-double to double petals in cerise pink. These flowers sit in dense clusters atop the plant’s foliage on tall stems. The Dragonfly has long, narrow dark green leaves that, in the winter, turn a rich plum. When these leaves are rubbed together, they often squeak, thus the plant’s moniker, ‘pig squeak.’
