Do you have a pic of your bergenia grouping? I wonder if you have 6 planted closely together they may not show as well as they could especially when not in flower. Since they are spring bloomers they are more foliage plants and need summer and longer bloomers surrounding.

I recently bot a Bergenia 'WinterGlow' which is winterglut. The reason I wanted it is that I had one years ago that only lasted a few years and I've always liked the plant. To me the unique foliage and interesting blooms make it a worthwhile addition to part of my garden. I've planted it at the entrance to my shade garden so it's near the dark red leafed ninebark which are in the sun and the heuchera in the shadier areas.

I plan to put pink and white flowering shade annuals, Lady's Mantle, and some of my 'throw-away' shastas nearby. Haven't finished that bed so no pics yet but I've posted a link to show how someone uses it.

I don't use plants I dislike as there are so many I do. So if you don't like this one you could give them to someone who might like them better. The bergenia has such a different leaf shape from the iris that it depends whether they would work with other plants you have in that area. I like any type of irises but if you have a mixed border they don't need other spikey plants nearby. Both are early bloomers so they have that in common.

I had a 'Bressingham Ruby' for three years. It always looked awful and it never bloomed, so I pulled mine this year. Hope you have better luck with yours. Maybe I don't have the right conditions for it.

Mine are actually thriving, and I actually do like them...it's just that my garden space is so limited that I think the space that they take up could be put to better use with something that I like more, something "showier." I'll try to get a picture up soon so you all can decide if the bergenia looks best or if a few of them should go.
