Elephant's Ears 'Rosi Klose'
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. They rise above a rosette of large, spoon-shaped, leathery leaves. Deep green in spring and summer, the handsome leaves often turn bronze in winter, adding interest to the garden. 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.
