Bergenia ‘Schneekönigin’

A superb, late flowering German hybrid selected by the famous 20th century plantsman Karl Foerster in 1959. Mid-green foliage with a slight pubescence. It has one of the most elegant inflorescences of any Bergenia with flowers carried in loose clusters on branching stems, opening pale pink before maturing to snow white (although this does vary). A popular and still widely available cultivar in the UK.
