Bergenia 'Overture'

Description:

Commonly known as elephant's ears, because of their large, leathery, oval leaves. They are low maintenance, evergreen, will grow in sun or shade and tolerate a wide range of soils. They make lovely edging plants. This is a particularly attractive cultivar with striking magenta-red flowers that are held high on scarlet stems above the foliage in mid spring. A cold snap in winter will turn the leaves from deep green to a rich claret.
