Propagate Bergenia: how?
Lord0 wrote:
Hi there,
I have a Bergenia, or two, in my garden which are in need in of
lifting/splitting/propagation. Both have large thick black stems (one
stem per plant), about three feet long, with most of the new growth
near the thin end of the "trunk".
What is the best way to divide these plants? i.e. convert one plant
into two (or more)
I am tempted just to chop the thick stem into say 6 inch lengths and
replant them, kinda like a Yucca, but I supect this may prove fatal.
thoughts?
Cheers

Don't know which Bergenia you have, but Google threw up this:
