Elephant's Ears 'Silberlicht', Bergenia SILVERLIGHT, Bergenia 'Silverlight'
Award-winning Bergenia ‘Bergenia ‘Silberlicht’ is a clump-forming evergreen perennial boasting erect clusters of white flowers, often maturing to pale pink, with prominent red centers. The charming blossoms are borne atop thick red stems in mid to late spring and rise above a rosette of large, leathery, oval leaves. Deep green in spring and summer, the handsome leaves turn purple-chocolate in fall and winter, as the temperatures drop. 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.
