Bergenia DRAGONFLY™ ‘Angel Kiss’
Soft, sweet, semi-double, white to light pink flowers in great abundance give value to an old garden favorite. A perfect companion to 'Pink Dragonfly'. DRAGONFLY™ 'Angel Kiss' is just as easy to grow, and really lights up an early spring garden with grace and sophistication. Winter foliage is a very dark wine-red. In early spring, it's the perfect contrasting foliage for the charming flowers that emerge snow white and then take on a light pink glow.
