Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Bergenia pacumbis 'Green Monstah' - Enormous green fuzzy ovate paddles demand your attention and, oh, are so worthy as among the boldest of herbaceous perennials. For dynamism contrast 'Green Monstuh' with finer, more delicate ferns, Polygonatum and other shade to semi-shade perennials that appreciate a fertile, moisture retaining soil. Ground cover under small trees such as Cornus florida, C. kousa or Prunus. Early to mid-morning sun or dappled afternoon shade will be perfectly appropriate. 'Green Monstuh' with its soft, hirsute leaves that you can almost hear purr when stroked is a gentle monster. I've nothing but green love for this monstuh. Established pot grown plant from division.
