Bergenia purpurascens <br>ELEPHANTS EARS, PURPLE BERGENIA

Native to North America. Elephant Ear's are named due to their very large, smooth, glossy, evergreen leaves! Bergenia boast huge displays of pink blooms in spring and summer, held high above the foliage, and are held on red stems! In autumn, leaves turn a brilliant shade of red. This is a beautiful focal plant for the perennial garden, and is much under-used in our opinion.

Bergenia plants are low maintenance and drought-tolerant, and they can grow in shade or partial sun. They prefer well-drained soil that's rich in organic matter and stays moist.
