Because Bergenia needs light to germinate, don’t cover the fine seed, just press it slightly into the soil surface. Germinate at room temperatures of 70° to 75°F in moist soil. Have patience, since germination can take 3 to 6 weeks.If you'd like to see all the plants and seeds I currently have available: Check out my other seeds and plants for sale
