Every effort will be made to make deliveries in this time or on a date requested by you.
Mail-Order-Trees cannot be held responsible for delayed deliveries due to factors beyond our control such as Public Holidays or adverse weather conditions which make it impossible to lift bare-rooted trees. In cases such as these, you will be notified.
We can only deliver to physical addresses and not to PO boxes. A complete address including correct postcode must be provided. Incorrect postcodes cause more delays than omitting the postcode altogether.

Bergenia cordifolia 'Winterglow' - A Hardy and Vibrant Perennial
Bergenia cordifolia 'Winterglow', commonly known as Elephant's Ears, is a hardy and vibrant perennial that offers year-round interest. This variety is particularly noted for its striking red-bronze foliage during the winter months and its rosy-pink flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. 'Winterglow' is ideal for ground cover, borders, and shade gardens, providing both colour and texture throughout the seasons.
The standout feature of Bergenia cordifolia 'Winterglow' is its dramatic winter foliage. The large, glossy leaves turn a rich red-bronze in the colder months, creating a stunning visual effect in the garden. In late winter to early spring, clusters of rosy-pink flowers emerge, standing out beautifully against the dark foliage and attracting early pollinators. The evergreen leaves form dense clumps, making 'Winterglow' an excellent choice for ground cover and providing year-round greenery.
Caring for Bergenia cordifolia 'Winterglow' is straightforward, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. Plant 'Winterglow' in well-drained soil, as it is adaptable to a range of soil types. This versatile plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, though some shade in hotter climates helps prevent leaf scorch. Water regularly to maintain moderately moist soil, especially during dry periods. To keep the plant looking its best, remove any dead or damaged leaves and spent flower stalks. In late autumn, a light mulch can protect the plant through winter. With its low maintenance needs, striking winter foliage, and vibrant flowers, Bergenia cordifolia 'Winterglow' is a superb addition to any garden, offering beauty and interest throughout the year.
