Bergenia cordifolia

 

This is a really good evergreen perennial with big, generous, glossy leaves that hails from Siberia’s Altai Mountains. It’s an excellent edging plant which gives a strong weight and good contrast with finer textured foliage. Attractive pink flowers in early spring get the garden off to a good start.
