My Food And Flowers 
Those pink flowers look so lovely 🙂
They are pretty in spring and I like it is nice with fall color and being evergreen!
I’ve had trouble with my Bergenia, and appreciate your mentioning that it is drought tolerant. I wonder if mine not flourishing over the years is due to it being in an area too moist? Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to dry that part of the garden bed out!
If that is the problem of being too moist, you can do is to plant them higher, either move them to somewhere else more suitable or add more soil underneath to make it higher up in same location — if that is the only spot available.
