Bergenia ‘Monte Rosa’

A superb Rosemarie Eskuche introduction with elongated, strap-like, glossy, dark green leaves that turn deep purple in autumn-winter. It has a good spreading habit with upright foliage creating ocean-like waves in the border. In spring, clusters of drooping pink flowers open from deep red calyces atop short pink-red stems.

Sadly not sold in the UK and not often seen outside of Germany. It is available from Staudengärtnerei Annemarie Eskuche or can be seen in specialist collections.
