Bergenia “Abendglut” – a shade loving plant that’s bee-friendly
Bergenia is a wonderful perennial that will feel excellent in dappled shade, as they produce lovely bright flowers in the spring and big green “elephant ear” foliage throughout the year. When winter comes, it all turns into a deep red.
It doesn’t come as a surprise that Bergenias are so loved by insects, as they are a rich source of nectar for bee-friendly gardens too. Once they flower, remove the flowerheads that faded and cut off damaged foliage during spring. Then, lift and divide large clumps in the first weeks of spring, so you can make sure the flowers get healthy regrowth.

I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be for house plants. Inside of my home is rather dark (due to lots of trees outside). Have you done one for indoor plants that like less light?
