Bergenia Rosi Klose (Elephants Ears)

Bergenia 'Rosi Klose' (Elephant's Ears) is a clump-forming evergreen perennial boasting erect clusters of bright pink flowers atop thick red stems in mid to late spring and often again throughout summer.

Low maintenance and easy to grow, this Bergenia selection is ideal in mass plantings, in containers, on banks, in front of the border, or in mixed beds.
