Bergenia cordifolia
Currently this plant is unavailable. However, we may have it in the future, so please if you wish to be added to a wish list.

It is hard to imagine that Bergenias are high alpines, but there are Chinese and Himalayan species that come from high in the mountains, in sheltered places on cliffs or in the lee of the high-altitude trees or rhododendrons. They make clumps or mats of large, rounded, glossy leaves which are attractive in their own right, and have panicles of bell-shaped flowers, in shades of pink or white. There are also many cultivated varieties.

Bergenia cordifolia is the classic reliable ‘elephant ears’ with broad glossy leaves that are green in summer, becoming bronze red-purple in winter. Spires of lovely bell-shaped rose-pink to carmine flowers bring welcome spring colour.
