Bergenia ‘Overture’

An exceptional cultivar with bright mid-green, thick leathery leaves, with a subtle red margin, that turn a brilliant shade of red in winter. Striking magenta pink flowers appear in spring, held well above the foliage in bright red calyces atop a scarlet red stem. A good spreader.
