'Miss Piggy' Pigsqueak

Bergenia cordifolia USPP 32,132, Can PBRAF

Due to the squeaky noises the leaves create when they are rubbed together, Bergenia is also known by the popular name Pigsqueak. 'Miss Piggy' is a fitting name for this new species in the Proven Winners perennial collection! The glossy, thick, dark green foliage are covered in a beautiful display of bright pink blossoms in the early spring. 'Miss Piggy' has broader, more robust leaves, a greater canopy of foliage, and more consistently pink flowers than 'Sakura'.
