Details

Lovely big white (or pink) flowers from flesh-coloured calyces. Very large leaves with a rim of hairs, good colour in the autumn. This differs from our Bergenia ciliata, in that the deciduous foliage is thinner and less fleshy.

Bergenia expert and plantsman, Scott Galloway, has examined our B. pacumbis and come to the following conclusion: 'An unusual form of the species with a uniquely undulating, sinuous, irregularly toothed margin, blushed pink-red. The bright green leaves are hairy on both the upper and lower leaf surface, becoming sparse with age, but not glabrous. The margin is densely ciliate. It also one of two pacumbis I have come across to display hairs on the petiole. It is likely to be a wild or garden hybrid of B. ciliata and B. pacumbis. Clusters of white-pink flowers emerge in spring on a short, stout pink-red stem.'
