    One of the first of the hardy perennials to bloom in late winter and early spring, and with lustrous round evergreen foliage which takes on burgundy tones in winter. A member of the Saxifraga family, 'Evening Glow', also known in German circles as 'Abendglut', bears 12-15" stems with deep rose purple colored flowers. Bergenia need good soil drainage and always seem happiest when grown on an east facing slope. Deer and rabbit resistant.
