General information about Elephant's Ears (Bergenia):
Elephant's Ears (Bergenia) is a ground covering, usual evergreen plant whose foliage often takes on nice autumn colours. Elephant's Ears likes a spot in the sun or half shade in normal soil. They are definitely not choosy plants. Once established they are quite drought tolerant. After a few years' gaps might appear in your clumps. Digging them up and splitting the plants will cure this. They love some added compost in spring. Elephant's Ears look best when planted in larger groups and can be used for covering larger areas. Good partners for Elephant's Ears are Cranesbill (Geranium) and ornamental grasses.
