Bergenia cordifolia 'Purpurea’
£5.00Price
An evergreen, rhizomatous perennial with glossy deep green leaves that can take on a red / purple colour in the winter. Fantastic bright magenta pink bell shaped flowers in clusters on red stems. Great ground cover plant. I think Bergenia's get a bad rap but I love them, this is planted at home in a big swathe around a stone water feature and they look great.
