I was thinking about trying to grow some Bergania Cordifolia and was wondering if any of you GA gardeners (or others in Zone 7b) have had success with this plant? I would be growing it in full sun, including afternoon sun. I have tons of sun and have plenty of the traditional drought-tolerant plants (rudbeckia, salvia, joe-pye, daisies, aster, etc....) Bergenia is featured in a book I have on southern perennials, so thought it might be worth a shot. I'm looking for something a little different, but still hardy, if anyone has other ideas. Thanks for any input!
