Bergenia

Bergenia is a small group of hardy perennials growing wild from Afghanistan to southeast Tibet and the Himalayas. These plants form clumps of large, evergreen leaves, which have a leathery texture, and clusters of small flowers. They grow from 1 to 2 feet high and spread 20 to 24 inches. B. cordifolia 'Purpurea' forms clumps of rounded leaves with wavy edges. They are dark green tinged with purple, especially in the winter. The small, bell-shaped, rose-pink flowers are produced in compact clusters on strong red stems from late winter to early spring.
